Astana Prosecutor's Office recovered more than 2 billion tenge in alimony in favour of 2,500 children. During the inspection, prosecutors identified over 5,000 instances of inaction by bailiffs.
WHAT VIOLATIONS THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE UNCOVERED
An inspection of the enforcement of court orders on alimony collection revealed more than 5,000 instances of inaction by bailiffs.
In addition, 5,500 debtors concealed real income totalling 26 billion tenge from their children.
WHAT EQUIPMENT WAS DISCOVERED AMONG THE DEBTORS
To improve the efficiency of recovery, at the initiative of the capital's prosecutor's office, a new method of working with debtors was introduced. Now recovery is also applied to specialised equipment that had previously remained outside the field of vision of private bailiffs (PB).
As a result, prosecutors identified 126 units of construction, road and agricultural equipment with a total value of 2 billion tenge.
HOW MUCH ALIMONY WAS RECOVERED
To date, the prosecutor's office has recovered more than 2 billion tenge in alimony in favour of 2,500 children.
Following the inspection, the prosecutor's office submitted an act of supervision to the Ministry of Justice. The ministry was instructed to ensure recovery at the expense of the identified income and specialised equipment, as well as to hold those who allowed the inaction strictly accountable.
The Astana Prosecutor's Office called on debtors to conscientiously fulfil their obligations to maintain their children.
