Bribery Case: Verdict against Yelorda Kurylys Kompaniyasy General Director Upheld

An Astana court considered an appeal regarding a bribery case. The general director of the state developer "Yelorda Kurylys Kompaniyasy" was implicated, Orda.kz reports.

LLP "Yelorda Kurylys Kompaniyasy" is a state-owned developer engaged in completing problematic projects in the capital.

The company's general director, Ruslan Kadesov, received a 170-million-tenge bribe from a contractor to increase the estimate for a building's construction. 

The court of first instance sentenced him to 10 years and his intermediary to six months. Both had their property confiscated and were banned from working in the civil service.

The convicts filed an appeal, asking to review the classification. However, the court left the sentence unchanged.

The decision has entered into legal force.
