In Almaty, the court found employees of Specialised Service Centres (SpetsTsONs) guilty of involvement in the illegal registration of lorries. Due to these registrations using falsified data, the state budget lost 164 million tenge in revenue.
WHAT THE INVESTIGATION ESTABLISHED
According to the prosecutor's office of Almaty, in 2023, five employees of SpetsTsONs illegally registered 18 lorries. Falsified documents were used, and the actual year of manufacture of the vehicles was misrepresented.
Such actions made it possible to process the vehicles on terms that did not correspond to their real characteristics, which directly affected the amount of mandatory payments.
WHAT DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE STATE
As a result of the unlawful actions, the state budget lost 164 million tenge that had been earmarked as a fee for the initial registration of vehicles.
During the pre-trial investigation, the damage caused was compensated in full.
THE COURT'S DECISION
A series of investigative actions and forensic examinations confirmed the unlawful activities of the defendants.
By the court's verdict, the defendants were found guilty and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. The specific lengths of the sentences were not specified in the source.
CONTEXT
Earlier, the National Security Committee (KNB) reported on cases of corruption within the SpetsTsON system. Specifically, it concerned schemes related to the issuance of driving licences and the organisation of exams involving stand-in individuals.
