In a March 10 interview printed in \"Slovo Kyrgyzstana,\" Kyrgyz Deputy Prosecutor-General Abibulla Abdygaparov said that prosecutors have opened 68 criminal cases against the Akaev family. He said that the cases involve real estate and other property. The charitable foundation Meerim, which was run by Akaev\'s wife, Mairam Akaeva, is the focus of 28 criminal cases. Abdygaparov promised more details, saying, \"When the time comes and the facts about the stolen millions and criminal acts are put in order, they\'ll tell the people about it.\" Abdygaparov also noted that former Prime Minister Nikolai Tanaev is the focus of several criminal probes, although these have been temporarily halted because Tanaev is ill. Tanaev is in detention in Bishkek after having tried to go to Kazakhstan. (RFE/RL)
