A verdict has been announced in the Karaganda region against the deputy director and chief accountant of a large municipal enterprise, LLP "Balkhash Zhylu".
According to the press service of the Balkhash City Court, they were accused of embezzlement through prior conspiracy by an organised group using their official position, as well as the legalisation of property obtained by criminal means.
The court established that the defendants from June 2020 to January 2023 unjustifiably transferred funds of LLP "Balkhash Zhylu" to their personal accounts and the details of legal entities. Furthermore, the defendants legalised the property they had managed to obtain.
As a result, the court sentenced one of the accused to 5 years and 6 months of imprisonment, and the other to 5 years of imprisonment. The convicted individuals will have their property confiscated and will be deprived of the right to hold positions related to the disposal of inventory items in state and commercial organisations for a period of 10 years.
"The claim of LLP 'Balkhash Zhylu' for compensation for material damage has been satisfied. The amount of material damage has been recovered from the defendants jointly and severally in favour of the victim. The court verdict has not entered into legal force," the statement says.
