A suspect wanted for large-scale fraud has been extradited to Kazakhstan from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, in October 2010 the offender received 50 million tenge from the victim for the delivery of a Rolls-Royce car from the USA, after which he disappeared.
Consequently, a criminal case was opened against him and he was placed on an international wanted list. The suspect had been evading law enforcement agencies for more than 10 years.
If convicted of this crime, he faces a prison sentence of 3 to 7 years with confiscation of property.
"The extradition of the wanted individual was made possible thanks to the agreement between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates on the extradition of criminals from 2009, the developer of which was the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan," the statement said.
