Identified "postings" for 127 million tenge during the repair of railway tracks

Under the coordination of the Main Transport Prosecutor's Office, the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Department of Transport suppressed a criminal group that had been stealing materials intended to improve the condition of railway tracks for 2 years.   

According to investigators, stolen linings, sleepers, rails and other goods were written off by entering fictitious information about their installation on the upper structures of the roadway instead of unsuitable or having certain defects.

17 current and former employees of the Karaganda branch of JSC "NC "KTZ" were involved in the criminal group. They were patronized by a police officer.

Preliminary damage was claimed in the amount of over 127 million tenge, which is about 800 tons of materials for the upper structure of railway tracks.    

As of today, the buyers and the location of most of the stolen goods, as well as the cargo vehicles on which they were transported, have been identified.     

With the sanction of the court, the head of the Zhanaarka section of the route and his deputy, as well as the head of the linear police department, were placed in the pre-trial detention center.
