A court has confiscated non-residential premises in Astana, along with rental income from the property, from a Turkish citizen convicted of fraud involving fictitious invoices, Orda.kz reports.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the man used companies he controlled in Almaty to prepare documents for allegedly completed work and goods deliveries that never took place. He earned more than one billion tenge through the scheme, used the money to buy an office in Astana, and later rented it out.

A court of first instance sentenced him to prison with amnesty, but did not confiscate the real estate or rental income. The Prosecutor General’s Office appealed the decision.

Following the cassation protest, the higher court amended the judicial acts. The convict was given an additional penalty in the form of property confiscation. The non-residential premises and rental income from the property were transferred to state ownership,the Prosecutor General’s Office press service said.
