The agency reported that the allegations voiced by the woman were not substantiated. The investigation was initiated after Aruu Emilbekova appealed to President Sadyr Japarov, requesting assistance in regaining custody of her four children.
MIA Investigation Results
According to the MIA, the reason for the couple's divorce was not domestic violence, but circumstances related to the woman's own criminal case. In 2022, the Jalal-Abad City Court found Emilbekova guilty of two counts of theft (Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic) and sentenced her to three years of probation.
Law enforcement officers also investigated allegations of violence against children. Previously, the woman claimed her daughters were beaten by their father; however, the agency stated these claims were not confirmed.
Context
Earlier, on November 7, during a meeting between the president and residents of Kant and the Issyk-Ata district, Emilbekova stated that her ex-husband prevents her from seeing her children and is a close relative of GKNB Chairman Kamchybek Tashiev. Following this, Sadyr Japarov ordered a review of the case, taking the new circumstances into account.
