A female citizen of Uzbekistan has been extradited from Georgia to Kazakhstan in a case concerning participation in a transnational organised criminal group and procuring. According to the investigation, the woman took part in a scheme to promote profiles on the website Kyzdar_net.
HOW THE PROCURING SCHEME WORKED
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the suspect, together with other members of the criminal group, took orders from individuals providing sexual services. They topped up the accounts of profiles posted on the website Kyzdar_net in order to ensure their promotion and advertising.
Members of the group withheld a commission from the incoming funds and transferred the remaining money to the organisers of the internet resource. According to the investigation, this scheme ensured the continuous operation of the site.
DETENTION OF THE SUSPECT IN GEORGIA
Some members of the organised group have already been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Other defendants fled from the investigation and were placed on the international wanted list.
The suspect was detained on the territory of Georgia in July 2026. At the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan, she was extradited to the country conducting the investigation.
The extradition was organised by officers of the Prosecutor General's Office and Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, with the assistance of the Kazakh embassy in Georgia.
WHAT PUNISHMENT THE SUSPECT FACES
The woman is currently in a pre-trial detention centre. For participation in an organised criminal group and procuring, she faces up to 10 years' imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The identity of the suspect, the exact number of group members and the amounts of money received are not disclosed in the Prosecutor General's Office statement.
WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT KYZDAR_NET
Earlier, the founder of the FBRK, Kirill Pavlov, reported that unknown individuals had posted a profile with his phone number on the website Kyzdar_net. After that, the journalist began receiving numerous calls and messages with offers of an intimate nature. According to Pavlov, those who contacted him included police officers and a parliamentary assistant.
As Tengrinews.kz reported, back in 2023 the police detained 11 top managers of Kyzdar_net, but in 2024 the criminal case was closed due to gaps in the legislation.
Later, on 7 June 2026, law enforcement officers again detained the alleged organisers of the resource. According to the investigation, the illegal income from the site's activities exceeded 2 billion tenge. During searches, large sums of cash, cryptocurrency and equipment were seized.
On 19 June 2026, the court of the North Kazakhstan Region issued the first guilty verdict in the case of aiding and abetting procuring via Kyzdar_net. The head of the transnational organised group received 10 years' imprisonment, and five other members received 8 years each. At the time of publication of the ruling, the verdict had not entered into legal force.
