The Prosecutor General's Office denied reports of property confiscation without a court order

The agency clarified that property seizure is only possible with a court order, refuting information spread in the media.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Kyrgyz Republic issued an official clarification in connection with the appearance on a number of Internet resources and social networks of incorrect interpretations of the draft law ‘On Amendments to the Criminal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Civil Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.’

The agency emphasised that, in accordance with the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, property can only be seized by court order.

Earlier, «Akchabar» reported that the new bill proposes to seize property without a conviction.
