Using an illegally obtained mobile phone, the inmate contacted prominent local entrepreneurs, pretending to be the deputy akim (governor) of the region, and offered assistance in addressing flood-related issues.

"The fraudster was found guilty of illegally obtaining 50 million tenge from a businessman under the pretense of offering business benefits and preferences. The court sentenced him to an additional 8 years of imprisonment, combining it with his prior sentence," the Anti-Corruption Service stated.
