Criminal cases have been opened in the Pavlodar region against dishonest bank employees. They are suspected of abusing their official powers.
According to Polisia.kz, an investigation was launched due to an increase in the number of cases of telephone fraud and loans being taken out in the names of victims.
It has emerged that employees of second-tier banks and microfinance organisations issued loans without conducting biometric identification of borrowers.
It is noted that since the beginning of the year, 173 cases of fraud have been registered in the region, 126 of which relate to information technology.
For context, in April last year, the Stepnogorsk city court of the Akmola region passed a sentence on a cashier and branch director of a second-tier bank, who stole 255 million tenge in one month.
