Deputy Chairman of the Agency for Financial Monitoring (AFM) Zhenis Yelemesov reported that 100 volumes of evidence have been gathered in the case of the founder of the charitable foundation "BizBirgemiz Qazaqstan", Perizat Kairat, who is suspected of embezzling 1.7 billion tenge.
According to the Telegram channel "Nege.Aqsha", citing the Deputy Chairman of the AFM, the investigation is nearing completion.
"Literally in the very near future we will announce the conclusion and move to the stage of familiarisation with the case. I cannot say exactly how long the familiarisation period will last, as it depends on the participants in the criminal proceedings. There are more than 100 volumes of criminal case materials, not counting physical evidence, so everything will depend on the public process", Yelemesov said.
It has become known that the case is being investigated under Article 190 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, "Fraud", and under Article 218 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, "Legalisation of criminally obtained money".
It is noted that Perizat Kairat is suspected of appropriating donations intended for the residents of Palestine and funds for eliminating the consequences of the floods. At the same time, she was caught organising an auction and collecting funds to create a rehabilitation centre for children with disabilities. In this way, Perizat collected around 22 million tenge, which she spent on personal needs.
Furthermore, Perizat Kairat's mother, Gaini Alashbayeva, is suspected of complicity in fraud and the legalisation of criminally obtained money. A criminal case has been opened against her.
To recall, in November it became known that the AFM was conducting an investigation into the volunteer activist and founder of the public charitable foundation "BizBirgemiz Qazaqstan", Perizat Kairat. It was reported that she was suspected of embezzling 1.7 billion tenge.
In mid-December, the court seized the suspect's elite real estate, cars, equipment, clothing, footwear, jewellery, and handbags from world-famous brands.
