Finance ministry staff sought 68 million tenge from the company - anticorruption allegation
In recent news, there has been no confirmed information about a corruption case involving employees from Kazakhstan's Ministry of Finance demanding a bribe of 68 million tenge.
However, it is worth noting that the Ministry of Finance has been under scrutiny for various large-scale corruption and embezzlement scandals in recent times. For instance, fraud worth hundreds of millions of tenge was investigated involving former Ministry of Finance employee Almas Omarkhanov, but this case was about fraud and loan default, not a bribe demand.
Another example is the accusation made by a businessman named Dimitri Kontkhonjia, who claimed that the Investigation Service of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Internal Affairs demanded a bribe of $400,000 (approximately 184 million tenge) to drop an investigation against him. However, this does not match the 68 million tenge figure in question and involves a different context.
Despite these cases, Kazakhstan has been intensifying its efforts on asset recovery and corruption crackdowns, with confiscations in bribery and embezzlement cases totaling billions of tenge in recent years. This suggests an ongoing crackdown, but there is no direct link to a 68 million tenge bribe demand involving Ministry of Finance employees.
The details of the alleged corruption case that have surfaced involve Ministry of Finance employees being caught red-handed committing a grave corruption crime in Almaty and Nur-Sultan. The employees are suspected of using their access to confidential information about an unjustified tax assessment of 570 million tenge, eligible for a full refund.
The investigation into the involvement of other Ministry officials in the corruption crime is ongoing. If more details emerge or if there are developments in the investigation, it is advisable to check local Kazakh news sources for the most recent updates.
In a separate incident, a Kazakhstani man failed to challenge a court ruling in favor of Rolex due to a similar trademark issue.
Meanwhile, the official representative of the Anti-Corruption Agency, Daniar Bigaydarov, has reported on corruption crimes occurring during special operations. The most recent report involves a supermarket in Kostanay being fined for selling goods for two thousand more than the price tag.
As the investigation into the 68 million tenge bribe demand continues, the public awaits further information and updates on the case.
