Kazakhstan To Recruit Public Assistants To Help Prevent Financial Crimes
AI-generated illustration
Kazakhstan’s Financial Monitoring Agency has approved rules for involving citizens in the prevention of economic and financial offenses, Orda.kz reports.
Kazakhstanis will now be able to officially become “public assistants” to the economic investigation service. To do so, they must submit an application, pass background checks, and register through the akimat.
Under the FMA order, applicants will be checked against narcological and psychoneurological records, as well as other databases. After approval, they will receive a public assistant certificate valid for three years. The document will include a QR code linking to a special register.
The certificate will state separately that a public assistant “is not vested with power” and is involved exclusively in legal outreach work.
Public assistants will be registered separately. Observation files will be created for them, and reports on their activities will be collected. Separate logs will also be kept for groups of such assistants.
Under the rules, these citizens will be able to take part in:
- legal outreach;
- advisory work;
- preventing violations;
- preventing and suppressing offenses.
Not everyone will be eligible to become a public assistant. The FMA will reject applicants who are under pre-trial investigation, are on preventive, narcological, or psychoneurological records, or have been punished by a court for an intentional administrative offense over the past year.
Public assistants will be able to work in groups at their place of residence, work, study, or property location.
