Court No. 2 in Atyrau has heard a criminal case against the chief accountant of a city clinic. She is suspected of embezzlement.
According to the press service of the Supreme Court, the defendant embezzled more than 573 million tenge between 2012 and 2023, transferring it to personal bank accounts.
"She legalised these criminally obtained funds by concluding transactions in the form of money transfers. The clinic suffered damage on an especially large scale," the statement said.
The defendant, partially admitting her guilt, requested a more lenient sentence. During the court proceedings, she compensated 3 million tenge.
The court found the former accountant guilty and sentenced her to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property acquired with the criminally obtained money.
In addition, she was banned from engaging in activities involving financial and material liability for 10 years.
It will be recalled that in September, in Shymkent, the director and accountant of the State Institution "Medical and Sports Dispensary" were convicted. They were found guilty of embezzling budget funds. According to the investigation, the institution illegally paid salaries to a person who did not work there. The damage amounted to 3.4 million tenge.
In August, the Atyrau court announced a sentence against the director of City Clinic No. 4, Sabirov Y., the head of maintenance, Alzhanova A., the chief accountant, Dyusengaliyeva M., and an entrepreneur, Yeraliyeva A. They were accused of embezzling 231.8 million tenge by transferring it to the entrepreneur without any services actually being provided.
Shortly before that, in Almaty, a sentence was announced against the accountants of a city clinic, Khangireyeva K. and Tuganbayeva A. They were accused of embezzling budget funds. The damage exceeded 341 million tenge.
