Employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) have extradited the general director of a commercial organisation from the United Arab Emirates. He is suspected of the illegal sale of oil in the Aktobe region.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, in 2022-2023 the suspect, together with a group of people, illegally sold oil worth a total of more than 300 million tenge.
After committing the crime, the individual fled and was placed on an international wanted list. Last year, the offender was detained in Dubai, from where, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, he was extradited to Kazakhstan. The suspect has now been placed in a pre-trial detention centre.
The crime he is charged with carries a penalty of imprisonment for a term of 3 to 6 years with confiscation of property.
Recall that a Kazakhstani citizen suspected of large-scale fraud was previously extradited from the Russian Federation. In 2020–2022, he headed a construction company.
It was reported that, acting as part of a group, the man entered into fictitious contracts and transferred money through affiliated companies. In this way, more than 8.5 billion tenge was stolen from the subsidiary Samruk-Energy JSC.
