Former Altyn Orda Directors Abdigaparov and Almabek Placed on Wanted List Again

Police are searching for Daniyar Abdigaparov and Kanat Almabek,  Orda.kz reports.

Their profiles appeared in the "Wanted Criminals" section of the portal of legal statistics and special records.

According to the listing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been searching for the former leaders of the Altyn Orda market since May 23, 2025.

This is the second time Abdigaparov and Almabek (formerly Zhakayev) have been placed on the wanted list. In January 2023, prosecutors put them on international wanted status along with other former Altyn Orda executives — Zhumadin Patov and Aidos Narukaliyev — on charges of large-scale fraud.

In 2024, the search for them was officially suspended.

Among the former leadership of Kazakhstan’s largest universal market, Daniyar Abdigaparov is the most well-known. He served as the director of Altyn Orda until 2022. That same year, he publicly accused Daniyar Alpiyev, son of the market’s former owner, of a hostile takeover, while Alpiyev, in turn, accused Bolat Nazarbayev.
