Organized crime group managed to defraud the state of 740 million tenge

Tengrinews.kz – The activities of an organized criminal group involved in the illegal registration of cargo vehicles using forged documents have been halted in the Aktobe Region, according to the Agency for Financial Monitoring.

According to the investigation, members of the group used fake purchase agreements and inspection reports, and entered false information into the “Avtopoisk” information system.

As a result of these actions, 77 cargo vehicles—semi-trailer trucks—were illegally registered in the regions of Aktobe, Atyrau, and West Kazakhstan. The registrations were carried out while bypassing the tax procedures required by law.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the damage to the state in the form of unpaid registration fees exceeds 740 million tenge.

The court has ordered pre-trial detention for the organizers.

The investigation is ongoing. In accordance with Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, further details are not being disclosed in the interest of the investigation.
