The specialised interdistrict economic court of Astana has considered a lawsuit from the department of justice regarding the liquidation of the public association ‘Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan 2030’, whose founder is Perizat Kairat, suspected of embezzling 1.7 billion tenge.
According to the press service of the capital's courts, the initial registration of the legal entity took place in October 2021. The association’s founders are listed as 10 individuals.
During the investigation, the authorised bodies conducted a handwriting examination, the conclusion of which stated that the signatures on behalf of 9 out of the 10 founders on the documents were made by Perizat Kairat.
‘A legal entity may be liquidated by virtue of Article 49 of the Civil Code, by a court decision in the event of the registration of the legal entity being declared invalid due to violations of legislation committed during its establishment which are of an irremediable nature’, the statement reads.
Considering the identified violations, the court ordered the forced liquidation of the PA ‘Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan 2030’.
It will be recalled that in November last year, it became known that the AFM was conducting an investigation into the volunteer movement activist and founder of the public charitable foundation ‘Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan’, Perizat Kairat. It was reported that she is suspected of embezzling 1.7 billion tenge.
In December, the court seized the suspect's elite property, cars, equipment, clothing, footwear, jewellery, and global brand handbags.
In February of this year, the Deputy Chairman of the AFM, Zhenis Yelemesov, reported that 100 volumes had been compiled in the case of Perizat Kairat. Furthermore, it was noted that her mother, Gaini Alashbayeva, is suspected of complicity in fraud and the legalisation of criminally obtained money. A criminal case has been opened against Alashbayeva.
Later, details of a new pre-trial investigation into Perizat Kairat came to light. It was reported that the latest episode involves fraud during the collection of money for the construction of a rehabilitation centre for disabled children.
Subsequently, a lawsuit was filed with the specialised interdistrict economic court of Astana for the forced liquidation of the charitable foundation ‘Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan’. The basis for filing it was a letter from the Agency for Financial Monitoring (AFM) initiating the procedure to cancel the foundation's registration due to violations committed during its establishment.
