Tengrinews.kz - The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) reported the dismantling of a criminal group that operated an illegal gambling business under the guise of a computer hall in the Mangystau region from 2022 to 2023.
According to the report, operators accepted bets from participants via bank transfers, after which they were registered on a platform and provided with a login, password, and link to access the games.
As a result, the group's total criminal income exceeded 77 million tenge.
"A financial investigation revealed that the suspects used the illegally obtained funds to purchase two vehicles, a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Mercedes-Benz 320, with a total value of 36 million tenge,” FMA reports.
The court found them guilty under the articles "Organization of illegal gambling business" and "Creation and leadership of an organized group or criminal organization, as well as participation in them." They were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 5 to 8 years.
Additionally, the vehicles purchased with criminal proceeds were confiscated.
