Kazakh Anti-Corruption Agency Seizes Millions in Laundered Assets
The Anti-Corruption Agency of Kazakhstan has been actively pursuing high-profile cases involving money laundering and illegal property acquisition. Aigerim Tuleshova, an internationally wanted suspect, has been found to have laundered approximately $10 million to buy property in Kazakhstan, including assets registered in her spouse's name.
Investigations revealed that Tuleshova used around 1.5 billion tenge of illegal money to purchase high-value movable and immovable property, including a luxury car, an apartment, land plots, and houses in Almaty city and region. A court order has arrested these properties pending further legal action.
In another case, suspects cashed out over 237 million tenge from the budget for infrastructure projects, using relatives as individual entrepreneurs to purchase apartments and cars. Meanwhile, a former official charged with embezzling over 745 million tenge from the sports budget bought two luxury cars and deposited over 240 million tenge into a company's account.
The Anti-Corruption Service has initiated nearly 30 criminal cases this year, demonstrating a commitment to tackling money laundering and property obtained through crime. The Anti-Corruption Agency has evidence of the criminal origin of funds and property assets in these cases, with court rulings already confiscating money and property in favor of the state.
