These funds were in the account of a foreign company in a Swiss bank owned by one of the active members of the criminal community, Magzum Abdraliyev, who has been on the international wanted list since 2012.
Work on the return of Abdraliev’s criminal assets from Switzerland has been carried out since 2018.
Earlier, in 2019, 140 million KZT had already been returned to the state income from Switzerland in this case.
Thus, the total amount of funds received from Switzerland to the state budget in this case as part of the work on the return of assets from abroad is about 530 million KZT (over 1.3 million US dollars).
