Officers of the organised crime department of the Aktobe region police detained a woman at the car park of the AutoCZN centre, who is suspected of illegally issuing insurance policies for cars with foreign registration.
According to Polisia.kz, the documents she issued had no legal force in the event of an insurance claim. Furthermore, the suspect was involved in the illegal issuance of other documents granting the right to drive a vehicle.
During a search of the woman's car, police seized medical certificates, certificates of completion of training courses for obtaining driving licences, as well as blank forms with notary stamp impressions.
It has been reported that the reason for the arrest was a complaint from a driver to his insurance company following a road traffic accident. He had previously purchased a three-month insurance policy from the suspect, but when he attempted to claim compensation, the document was deemed to be fake.
A pre-trial investigation has been launched into the incident. Investigative actions are underway to establish all the circumstances of the case and identify any possible accomplices.
It was previously reported that over the past three years, the territorial departments of the Agency for Financial Monitoring (AFM) have investigated 88 criminal cases related to the illegal registration of over 1,800 vehicles, evading payment of the initial registration fee totalling 11.8 billion tenge.
