AKIPRESS.COM - The office of the Kumtor Gold Company in Bishkek was searched by officers of the State National Security Committee, sources told Tazabek.
Kumtor Gold Company workers told Tazabek the national security committee officers came to the office, seized the documents they needed and left.

President Japarov earlier signed the law allowing external management of Kumtor mine in case of breach of environmental requirements.
The chairman of the trade union of miners, Eldar Tazhibaev, told Tazabek the office was searched and the documents were seized in connection with earlier launched criminal probes.
