Interpol to Help Find Kazakhstani Oligarchs' Foreign Accounts

The Ministry of Internal Affairs will now assist the Prosecutor General's Office in searching for illegally withdrawn assets, Orda.kz reports.

The National Central Bureau of Interpol and the Asset Recovery Committee signed the corresponding memorandum. They will jointly investigate the origin of Kazakhstani oligarchs' accounts and property abroad and exchange information. 

This will allow us to respond more quickly to economic crimes, assist international investigations, and return finances belonging to the state and citizens, noted the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.

Today, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) includes 196 countries, including Kazakhstan.
