Former Kyrgyz Interior Minister Moldomusa Kongantiyev was detained in Moscow and sent back to Kyrgyzstan, where he is wanted on “abuse of official power” charges. Kongantiyev received medical treatment in Moscow after being taken hostage and heavily beaten by the rebels during the recent Kyrgyz revolution (reportedly, Kongantiyev’s wife ransomed him for $40,000). The detention was carried out by Kyrgyz and Russian law enforcement officers acting jointly. No formal extradition hearings were held; the ex-minister was simply handed over to the new Kyrgyz authorities.
