The specialised inter-district criminal court of the Karaganda region sentenced a resident of Karaganda, S. Alkenov.
According to the press service of the Anti-Corruption Agency, he incited a businessman to bribe officials of the local executive body. Furthermore, he was found guilty of defrauding a businessman of 192 million tenge under the pretext of assisting in the expedited obtainment of documents for the construction of residential houses.
Alkenov was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment with a lifetime ban from holding positions in the civil service and in quasi-public sector entities.
The court confiscated his property, consisting of a house and a car with a total value of approximately 150 million tenge, and also recovered the bribe amount of 192 million tenge in favour of the state.
Recall that earlier, the Anti-Corruption Agency completed an investigation into the chairman of the Aktau city court of the Mangystau region and a private bailiff. They are accused of fraud and inciting a female defendant to give a bribe of 20 million tenge in exchange for a lenient sentence at the time of judgement.
Incidentally, the detention of the chairman of the Aktau city criminal court of the Mangystau region was reported as early as June. At the time, the media speculated that it concerned Bauyrzhan Shaydullin.
