Kazakhstan to Publish Register of Convicted Economic Crime Offenders

Kazakhstan’s Financial Monitoring Agency will publish a digital register of people and companies linked to economic crimes, Orda.kz reports.

Kazakhstan has approved rules for maintaining a register of individuals and legal entities involved in economic crimes.

The list will be published on the Economic Investigation Service website and updated quarterly. People and companies can be removed from the register after a criminal record is expunged or expires, after the death or legal incapacitation of an individual, or after a company is liquidated by court order.

The register will not include all suspects, but only those whose guilt has been established by a final court conviction. It will cover economic criminal offenses investigated by the Economic Investigation Service and internal affairs bodies.

The register will include:

• full name
• date of birth
• Criminal Code article
• the body that conducted the pre-trial investigation
• company name and business identification number, if a legal entity was used in the crime
• project name, if the case is linked to a financial pyramid

The Financial Monitoring Agency said the list is intended to prevent economic offenses and inform the public and businesses about related risks.
