Tengrinews.kz – The General Prosecutor's Office of Kyrgyzstan has extradited a Kazakhstani citizen suspected of large-scale fraud.
According to the investigation, in June 2023, she, acting as part of a group in a premeditated conspiracy, sent messages to one of the banks in Almaty on behalf of its clients, requesting to change the phone numbers linked to their bank accounts, thereby gaining access to those accounts.
"After that, using remote access, the fraudster transferred money from the accounts of five victims to the bank accounts of money mules and seized their funds. As a result of her criminal actions, the victims suffered damages exceeding 230 million tenge," the Prosecutor General’s Office stated.
In January, the Kazakhstani woman was detained at Bishkek airport and, upon request from the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, was extradited to her home country. She is currently being held in a pre-trial detention center.
The crime she is charged with carries a punishment of five to ten years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
