Employees of the Prosecutor General's Office, with assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, extradited a suspect accused of fraud from Germany.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, the individual, along with two accomplices, created fictitious companies and, under the guise of delivering wheat, obtained funds from an entrepreneur totalling over 100 million tenge.
Police arrested one of the suspects; the remaining two, fearing prosecution, went into hiding and were placed on the international wanted list.
"As a result of operational search activities, the location of one suspect was established in October last year in the city of Nuremberg (Germany). Subsequently, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the suspect was extradited to his homeland", the statement said.
He has now been placed in a pre-trial detention centre. It is noted that the punishment for this crime is imprisonment for a term of five to ten years with confiscation of property.
Recall that in early February, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan extradited a Kazakhstani citizen from Kyrgyzstan to face criminal liability for creating and leading the financial pyramid "QI-Trade" as part of a transnational organised group.
It has become known that the suspects embezzled about 15 billion tenge from investors. Some participants were convicted, and the aforementioned citizen fled and was placed on the international wanted list. While on the run, the suspect committed murder in Kyrgyzstan, where he was convicted.
