A suspect in illegal cryptocurrency trading has been extradited from the United Arab Emirates

Employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Financial Monitoring Agency, with the assistance of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the United Arab Emirates, have extradited a Kazakh citizen from Dubai, who is wanted for illegal cryptocurrency trading.
In the period from 2022 to 2024, the suspect carried out the purchase, sale and exchange of digital assets for individuals without a corresponding license on the Binance crypto exchange platform, receiving illegal income in the amount of 400 million tenge from this.
In order to avoid criminal liability, the person involved disappeared, and therefore was put on the international wanted list.
In February of this year, he was detained in Dubai and, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan, extradited to his homeland.
Currently, the suspect has been placed in a pre-trial detention center.
For committing this crime, he faces a penalty of imprisonment for up to five years with confiscation of property.
