Austrian prosecutors have asked Kazakhstan not to interfere with their investigation against Rakhat Aliyev into the kidnap murder case of two Kazakh bankers Zholdas Timraliyev and Aibar Khasenov.
When asked to get Eurojust and Europol investigate Aliyev, Commissioner Malmstrom says that EU lacks legal framework to investigate cross-border money laundering cases.
Former German Minister of Internal Affairs has called to issue an arrest warrant for Rakhat Aliyev accused of embezzlement, tortures and murder of two bank managers in Kazakhstan.
Angela Merkel said that information on Aliyev was part of a “successful” operation of German intelligence service and its publication would be deleterious to its source.
Akezhan Kazhegeldin and his two bodyguards promised to seek justice in the European Court of Human Rights if Maltese law-enforcement authorities do not initiate a case against Rakhat Aliyev.
