The prosecutor's office of the Kostanay region has approved an indictment against the head of a limited liability partnership (LLP) working in the procurement and supply of agricultural products.
According to the department's press service, from December 2021 to April 2022, the suspect entered into contracts for the supply of grain and other agricultural products with enterprises in the Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, Akmola and several other regions, without intending to fulfil the obligations undertaken.
It is noted that the accused used the details of her LLP and misled counterparties regarding the real capabilities for supplying products.
Having received prepayments exceeding 140 million tenge from partners, she did not dispatch the goods, provided fictitious information about logistics, and disposed of the money at her own discretion. As a result, 11 entrepreneurs were affected.
The actions of the accused were classified under paragraph 2, part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("Fraud committed repeatedly and on an especially large scale"), which provides for a penalty of imprisonment for up to 10 years with confiscation of property. The materials of the criminal case were sent to Court No. 2 of Kostanay.
Recall that previously it was reported that the department of the Agency for Financial Monitoring of Shymkent is conducting a pre-trial investigation against the former chairman of JSC "Agricultural Financial Support Fund" Zhandar Omarov.
He is suspected of embezzling 430 million tenge allocated for the establishment of intensive apple orchards.
