In February, our editorial team sent a request to the National Security Committee asking whether Saburov was being checked for possible violations of criminal law, including Article 170 of the Criminal Code.

Note: Article 170 of Kazakhstan’s Criminal Code refers to mercenary activities — including recruitment, training, financing or using people in war, armed actions, or attempts to overthrow power and violate a country’s territorial integrity. The penalty ranges from 7 to 12 years in prison.

“The information has been taken into consideration, verification measures are being carried out,” the National Security Committee said at the time.

How the check ended

Recently, we received a response to a new official request. According to the response, the verification measures regarding Saburov have been completed.

“We inform you that no signs of an offense were identified as a result of the verification measures,” the National Security Committee said.
