In the region of Ulytau, a verdict was passed on the next fact of embezzlement of state funds. The acting chief accountant of KSU "State Archive of the Ulytau Region" was found guilty of embezzlement of budget funds on an especially large scale.
According to the court, in the period from January 2023 to May 2025, he illegally used electronic digital signatures (EDS) of the heads of the institution. With the help of these EDS, he repeatedly carried out illegal transfers of funds from the budget account of the archive to his personal bank account. As a result, the state suffered damage in the amount of 23,828,036 tenge.
During the trial, the defendant voluntarily reimbursed the state 8,444,545 tenge for the damage caused and pledged to pay off the remaining debt. The injured party - the Department of Culture of the region Ulytau - asked the court to recover from the defendant the remaining amount of 15.3 million tenge.
By a court verdict, the defendant was found guilty under Part 4 of Article 189 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and sentenced to 7 years 6 months in prison. In addition, he was sentenced to an additional sentence in the form of a ban on accounting activities for a period of 5 years.
The fact of embezzlement of budget funds on an especially large scale was revealed thanks to online monitoring and analysis of budget execution carried out by the Department of Internal State Audit in the field of Ulytau. This case once again confirmed the importance of digital controls to ensure transparency and effective use of public finances.
