The trial of the former deputy akim of the East Kazakhstan Region (EKR), Zhaksylyk Omar, continues in Ust-Kamenogorsk. The state prosecutor has requested a six-year prison sentence for him.
WHAT THE PROSECUTOR REQUESTED
As reported by the publication YK-news.kz, the prosecutor asked the court to take into account mitigating circumstances. In particular, it was noted that Zhaksylyk Omar has no previous convictions and is the father of seven children.

As a result, the prosecutor requested 6 years in prison with a ban on holding positions in the civil service and the quasi-public sector.

The trial continues, and a final decision has not yet been issued by the court.
