Kazakh man suspected of major fraud returned from Turkey

The Prosecutor General's Office and Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the competent authorities of the Republic of Turkey, have returned a Kazakh citizen from Turkey who is wanted for repeated fraud.
It was established that in 2023, in the city of Shymkent, he, acting together with other persons by prior agreement, posted deliberately false advertisements on the Internet for the sale of cars at below-market prices. As a result of illegal actions, 52 victims lost money totaling over 70 million tenge.
The accomplices of this crime were previously sentenced to various types of punishment. The person involved, who went into hiding after committing the crimes, was put on the international wanted list and detained in Turkey in August of this year.
Currently, the suspect has been placed in a pre-trial detention center. He faces a sentence of three to seven years in prison with confiscation of property.
The Prosecutor General's Office and law enforcement agencies will continue to work consistently to protect the rights of citizens and bring to justice those who have committed crimes, regardless of their location.
