Kazakhstan’s Prosecutor General’s Office said a former accountant, a Kazakh citizen suspected of especially large-scale fraud, has been extradited from Greece, Orda.kz reports.
She was detained in Greece in June 2024 after being placed on the international wanted list. Today, the woman was brought to Kazakhstan and placed in a pretrial detention center in Astana.
According to the report, the transfer was organized through Serbia because there are no direct flights.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, in 2021 the suspect worked as an accountant for a transport company in Almaty. She received $230,000 from the company’s head under the pretext of placing the money in a bank safe deposit box and allegedly appropriated the funds. After that, the woman fled abroad.
The investigation is continuing. The suspect faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
