A court has transferred to the state a terminal at the Dostyk station that belonged to former KazTemirTrans vice-president Azamat Kapenov, Orda.kz reports.
The confiscation was sought by the Main Transport Prosecutor’s Office as compensation for damages.
The case against Kapenov is being investigated by the Agency for Financial Monitoring. According to the investigation, he used his official position to give affiliated companies illegal preferences in operations involving freight wagons. The damage to KazTemirTrans was estimated at more than 5.2 billion tenge.
Azamat Kapenov is the former son-in-law of convicted former KNB chief Karim Massimov. He is now on the international wanted list, and the court has authorized his arrest in absentia.
Kapenov and Massimov’s daughter, Tamila Karim, married in 2015. After Massimov’s arrest in January 2022, it became known that they had divorced. For more than two years, the former spouses were involved in court proceedings in Moscow over property and custody of their two sons. In June 2025, a Moscow court rejected Tamila Karim’s claim for the division of property. According to Russian media reports, Kapenov owned a house in Serebryany Bor, a mansion in Zhukovka on Rublyovka worth 1.2 billion tenge, and an apartment in central Moscow.
Kapenov himself was detained in the UAE in August 2025, but was released a month later. The Emirates refused to extradite him. The Kazakh side was unable to provide documents confirming the accusations, according to his lawyer. The lawyer also said that Kapenov lives in Dubai and is not in hiding.
