In Astana, the lawyer representing Perizat Kairat has filed an appeal with the capital’s court, Orda.kz reports.
Kairat was previously convicted of embezzling 3.5 billion tenge raised through the Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan 2030 association.
“In my appeal, I ask for the sentence to be overturned and for her to be acquitted due to the absence of corpus delicti in her actions,” lawyer Aslanbek Dauletyarov told an Orda.kz correspondent.
In July, the Astana Interdistrict Criminal Court found Kairat and her mother, Gaini Alashbayeva, guilty of embezzling 3.5 billion tenge and laundering criminal proceeds.
Kairat was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with confiscation of property, deprivation of the Shapagat medal, and a 10-year ban on engaging in charitable activities involving fundraising.
Alashbayeva received a seven-year sentence and the same ban.
The investigation determined that the funds, collected through the Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan 2030 public association, were spent on luxury real estate, premium vehicles, jewelry, and designer accessories.
Confiscated assets were directed toward compensating damages to victims, including major banks and fintech companies: Forte, Alatau City Bank (formerly Jusan), and Kaspi.
