Citizen of Uzbekistan extradited from Russia to Kazakhstan over $7 million fraud case
A citizen of Uzbekistan accused of committing a large-scale fraud in Kazakhstan has been extradited from Russia.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office of Kazakhstan, the suspect worked as an accountant at a construction company in Almaty from 2005 to 2007. During this period, she issued fake receipts that were not documented in the company's records. Her actions reportedly caused harm to more than 80 people, with the damages exceeding 3.7 billion KZT (approximately $7 million).
One of her accomplices was convicted, but the Uzbek woman fled the country after committing the crime. As a result, she was placed on an international wanted list.
Russian law enforcement authorities detained the individual in the Krasnodar region at the end of 2023. Following a request from Kazakhstan’s Prosecutor General’s Office, the woman was extradited to Kazakhstan.
The suspect is currently being held in a detention center. Under Kazakh law, if found guilty, she could face a prison sentence ranging from 5 to 10 years, along with the confiscation of her property.
