The investigation believes he underpaid taxes by hundreds of millions of tenge. He has now been placed in a pre-trial detention centre, Orda.kz reports
The Prosecutor General’s Office extradited from Kyrgyzstan a citizen of Kazakhstan suspected of a serious economic crime.
According to the investigation, in 2023 he organised a scheme to issue fictitious invoices without any actual work being performed. As a result, the budget lost about 350 million tenge in taxes.
«After that, the man fled and was put on the international wanted list. In March 2025, security forces detained him in Bishkek. At Kazakhstan’s request, he was transferred to his homeland,» prosecutors said
The suspect has been taken to a detention centre. He faces up to seven years in prison with confiscation of property.
Earlier, Orda.kz wrote that in the Kostanay region the head of a peasant farm issued fictitious invoices for six companies totalling one billion tenge. According to the Financial Monitoring Agency, because of this scheme the budget did not receive more than 200 million tenge in taxes.
