All news on the topic: Akylbek Tumonbayev

Azim Roy disappeared from the radar after moving to America in the 90s, and there was almost no news about him for two decades – until a photograph appeared showing him sitting on a couch with the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, and his relative by marriage, Akylbek Tumonbayev.

Azim Roy entered public awareness in late 2023 after Kyrgyzstan’s State Security Committee announced an international search for him, but the investigation was unexpectedly abandoned shortly after.
