Tengrinews.kz - The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan has disrupted the activities of six criminal groups in the Karaganda region involved in serious crimes, uncovering more than 40 cases of extortion.

According to the agency's press service, on October 15, the Organized Crime Control Department in the city of Shakhtinsk detained a youth group engaged in extorting local residents, including employees of Qarmet JSC, one of whom was a mixed martial arts coach.

Earlier this year, law enforcement detained members of other criminal groups in the cities of Temirtau, Saran, and Abai, who were also involved in serious crimes, as well as in the theft of goods and materials from Qarmet JSC facilities and extorting money from the company's employees.
