The prosecutor's office of the Karatyubinsky district of the West Kazakhstan region uncovered instances of illegal use of a government institution's EDS key.
According to the department's press service, an accountant, using the manager's EDS key, illegally transferred budget funds to his own account amounting to approximately 7 million tenge.
In connection with this, the prosecutor's office initiated a pre-trial investigation under paragraph 1 of part 3 of Article 189 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (misappropriation and embezzlement of entrusted property on a large scale).
It is reported that the defendant only compensated 1 million tenge of the damage. In court, he stated that he spent the stolen funds on online gambling.
As a result, the Karatyubinsky District Court sentenced the government institution's accountant to 3 years and 6 months of imprisonment.
For context, earlier the Aktobe City Court pronounced a sentence on the chief accountant of school-gymnasium No. 55, Bekzat Tazhenov, who lost embezzled state money amounting to more than 413 million tenge on bets.
