A citizen of Kazakhstan who had been placed on the wanted list has been detained on a Greek island. She is suspected of fraud.
"On the island of Chios, located in Greece, Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, in cooperation with foreign colleagues, detained a fraudster who had been placed on the international wanted list," reports Polisia.kz.
In 2021, the suspect, while working as an accountant for one of the limited liability partnerships in Almaty, illegally transferred funds in the amount of $230,000 to her account.
The authorised bodies are currently resolving the issue of extraditing the detainee to Kazakhstan.
Recall that in June, a suspect in large-scale fraud was extradited to Kazakhstan from the United Arab Emirates. It was reported that in 2010, the offender received 50 million tenge from a victim for the delivery of a Rolls-Royce car from the USA, after which he disappeared with the money.
In July, a suspect in leading a branch of the Finiko financial pyramid in the Kostanay region, whose investors lost over 167 million tenge, was extradited to Kazakhstan from Armenia.
In September, a citizen of Kazakhstan was extradited from Turkey to face criminal charges for the misappropriation of entrusted property. According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, the suspect, while working as an accountant for a commercial organisation in Almaty, embezzled around 27 million tenge between 2022 and 2023.
