Almost a billion defrauded from business partners by the director of a LLP in Astana

Submitted by Вера Александрова on

The inter-district criminal court of Astana has sentenced the director of a limited liability partnership who committed fraud on an especially large scale.

According to the press service of the capital's courts, the defendant entered into contracts with four companies for the supply of diesel fuel at a price below the market rate. However, he later did not provide the fuel and lubricants, and transferred the money to the accounts of other companies.

In this way, the offender obtained the victims' funds totalling 990.1 million tenge.

It is noted that in court, the victims asked not to deprive the defendant of his freedom, due to the conclusion of mediation agreements with him, according to which the damage must be compensated by 15 December 2024.

Nevertheless, the court found the director of the enterprise guilty and sentenced him to 6 years in prison. In addition, he was stripped of the right to hold financially responsible and managerial positions in commercial organisations for a period of 5 years.

Recall that at the beginning of September, the head of the apparatus of the Al-Farabi district akim of Shymkent, the director of a limited liability partnership, and the founder of the same company were convicted for embezzlement of budget funds amounting to 700 million tenge. The court sentenced each to 8 years in prison.
