Employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan extradited from Turkey a citizen of Kazakhstan to face criminal prosecution for embezzlement of entrusted property on an especially large scale.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, the suspect, while working as an accountant for a commercial organisation in Almaty, between 2022 and 2023 embezzled approximately 27 million tenge.
After committing the crime, the offender fled, and was consequently placed on the international wanted list.
In August, the former accountant was detained in Turkey, after which, upon the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, she was handed over to Kazakh law enforcement authorities.
The suspect has now been placed in a pre-trial detention facility in Astana.
It is reported that she faces punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of 7 to 12 years, with confiscation of property.
Recall that in July, a suspect in leading a branch of the ‘Finiko’ financial pyramid in the Kostanay region, whose investors lost over 167 million tenge, was extradited to Kazakhstan from Armenia.
In June, a suspect in large-scale fraud was extradited to Kazakhstan from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In October 2010, the offender received 50 million tenge from a victim for the delivery of a Rolls-Royce car from the USA, after which he disappeared.
