The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has granted the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Kyrgyz Republic to extradite Cholpon Aidarova for criminal prosecution. According to the materials of the criminal case, in 2020-2021, she participated in a criminal community that was created to commit serious and especially serious crimes and operated under the guise of the Finiko company on the basis of the financial pyramid principle.
The accused acted as a regional leader and representative of a criminal group. During the period of criminal activity, members of the community in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic took possession of the funds of more than 100 citizens totaling 1.2 million US dollars and 5.7 million soms. In addition, as part of the criminal community, the accused stole significant amounts of money from two other citizens by deception and abuse of trust.
The court chose a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody against Aidarova, and she was put on the wanted list.
The accused's actions are punishable under Russian criminal law and comply with Part 2 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code (participation in a criminal community) and Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud). The statute of limitations for criminal prosecution under the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic has not expired. The decision on search and extradition was made possible due to the high level of cooperation between the Prosecutor's offices of the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic in the framework of the implementation of the agreement on combating crime.
The decision of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia on extradition came into force, and therefore the Federal Penitentiary Service was instructed to transfer Aidarova.
We remind that a criminal case has been opened against Finico on the fact of fraud on a particularly large scale. The total damage caused by the pyramid scheme, according to independent estimates, exceeds $4 billion. The number of victims is at least 850,000.
The founder of the pyramid, Kirill Doronin, has been under arrest since the end of July 2021. As part of the deal with the investigation, he testified against 44 accomplices. At the same time, he did not admit his guilt and denied embezzlement of funds.
On September 6, 2022, the co-founder of Finico, Zygmunt Zygmuntovich, was detained in the UAE, and in December — Edward Sabirov. The latter was later released on bail of 1 million dirhams (almost 20 million rubles). At the same time, the father of the accused left his passport as collateral.
Marat Sabirov, who remains at large, has been put on the international wanted list and arrested in absentia.
