Businessman Anuarbek Dzhaksengaliyev has been sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison with confiscation of property.
According to the press service of the AFM, the volume of his criminal proceeds reached 4.3 billion tenge. The scheme to legalise illegal assets was uncovered thanks to a parallel financial investigation.
“It has been established that Dzhaksengaliyev, having embezzled 1.1 billion tenge from the state budget, legalised them through complex schemes of transferring funds to accounts of controlled, fictitiously created enterprises. In addition, he carried out financial transactions to withdraw funds and convert them into foreign currency,” the statement said.
At the same time, he carried out property transactions to launder the stolen funds.
“The legalisation and laundering of criminal proceeds were carried out between 2019 and 2022 through the purchase of land plots from private owners, transferring them to construction companies, and receiving rewards from completed apartments,” the AFM reported.
It has been revealed that the total value of property confiscated from Dzhaksengaliyev for the state amounted to 4.7 billion tenge.
Earlier, the court confiscated 46 land plots belonging to the head of construction company G-Park, Gabit Satmagambetov, from Anuarbek Dzhaksengaliyev in the consumer cooperative of dacha plot owners (CCDPO) “Trud-2”, the consumer cooperative of owners (CCO) “Druzhba-2”, as well as the gardening partnerships “Rodnichok” and “Ryabinushka”.
