Minister of Agriculture Kamchybek Tashiev commented on the detention of Erlist Akunbekov by the State Committee for National Security (UKMK). Akunbekov was suspected of selling fertilizers to large enterprises at commercial prices after they were exempted from customs duties, using forged documents. The investigation was launched on the grounds of evading large-scale payments due to the state, with preliminary damage estimates around 3 billion Kyrgyz som. Akunbekov was initially arrested for four months but later released under house arrest after declaring illness.
