The Shymkent prosecutor’s office has identified instances of illegal actions by a local resident during an analysis of the legality of social benefit payments.
According to the department’s press service, the suspect used the digital signature keys of individual entrepreneurs to fictitiously employ pregnant women in businesses.
She then illegally processed social benefits for them and spent the funds for her own purposes. As a result of the illegal activity, the state suffered damage amounting to 217 million tenge.
A pre-trial investigation has been launched into this matter under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (“Fraud”) and has been referred to the Department of Economic Investigations of Shymkent.
Investigative actions are currently underway aimed at fully clarifying the circumstances of the case.
Recall that previously in the Pavlodar region, specialists from the “Career Centre of the Uspenka District” branch were convicted for embezzling 144 million tenge allocated under the state voluntary resettlement programme.
