The Interdistrict Criminal Court of Astana has passed a sentence on the head of the State Communal State Enterprise "Nursery-Kindergarten" and her deputy for economic affairs.
According to the press service of the department, they were accused of embezzling and misappropriating entrusted property to the sum of 13,049,701 tenge.
The defendants pleaded guilty and asked for a minimum punishment not involving deprivation of liberty.
When imposing the sentence, the court took into account mitigating circumstances: admission of guilt, having young children, full voluntary compensation for the damage, and no previous criminal record.
Ultimately, the accused were found guilty and sentenced to 3 years of restriction of liberty, with a lifelong ban from holding positions in the civil service and in entities of the quasi-public sector.
It will be recalled that in September, in the Ulytau region, a conviction was handed down to a nursery-kindergarten accountant who had inflated her own salary from 2021 to 2023. Over 3 years, she transferred more than 15 million tenge to her bank account.
In June, it was reported that in the East Kazakhstan Region, an accountant at the 'Katusha' kindergarten had been overpaying her own salary for three years. In total, she transferred more than 12 million tenge to her accounts.
In May, the Zhanaozen prosecutor's office revealed embezzlement of budget funds by an accountant from two state kindergartens. She transferred 30 million tenge to her account.
In March, it became known that in Pavlodar, the director of a nursery-kindergarten, in collusion with the accountant, committed embezzlement of almost 63 million tenge. The court found them guilty and sentenced them to 7 years of imprisonment.
