The Metropolitan Police Department has provided an update regarding claims made by citizen A. Bayarjavhlang, who recently shared information online about alleged police misconduct. His claims included details about the case of "Noorog" employee A.O., whose home was reportedly searched.
Speaking on the matter, Head of the Cybercrime Department S.Taivan stated that crimes affecting citizens' lives, health, and psychological well-being have been on the rise due to the growing organization of online gambling. He explained that these crimes are committed in a highly organized manner.
According to police findings, a 35-member criminal group led by Mongolian citizen E. was identified. This individual was forcibly brought back to Mongolia as part of the Shuvuu /Bird/ Operation. Additionally, authorities have determined that an 18-member criminal group, led by A.Bayarjavkhlan, was involved in organized gambling and money laundering. Two of Bayarjavkhlan’s brothers were also detained.
A.Bayarjavkhlan himself is currently under investigation for allegedly forming an organized criminal group, facilitating illegal gambling operations, and engaging in money laundering. However, officials declined to disclose further details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Deputy Chief of the Central Investigation Department, Police Colonel N.Munkhzul, confirmed that an internal investigation into law enforcement officers was launched based on Bayarjavhlang’s allegations. He noted that the claims were first submitted to him in September, 2024 during the “Khyanamgai Bai” /Be cautious/ campaign press conference.
N.Munkhzul emphasized that any officers found guilty of misconduct will be held accountable. However, if the investigation determines that the accused officers acted lawfully, their rights will be protected. He further highlighted the importance of ethical conduct among civil servants, who hold positions of significant responsibility and must not abuse their authority.
The Anti-Corruption Agency (ATC) conducts regular screenings to prevent officers from violating the law. In connection with the current case, Colonel M.Boldbaatar and Senior Lieutenant G.Temuulen were investigated for eight months. The ATC concluded that they were not guilty of any wrongdoing, clearing them of allegations. As a result, these officers are entitled to seek legal action to restore their reputations.
When asked whether Noorog’s employees were implicated in the case, Head of the Legal Department of the Central Investigation Department B.Batzorig clarified that all cases are investigated strictly in accordance with the Criminal Code. He explained that if there is reasonable suspicion, authorities have the legal right to seize physical evidence and electronic devices. However, if an individual is found not guilty, their seized items will be returned immediately.
