Officer in Aktobe jailed for seven years after attempting to recover funds invested in a financial pyramid scheme.
A Cop's Dishonest Dealings, A Kazakhstan Tale
In the heart of Aktau, a crafty cop found himself behind bars for seven years, according to "Diapazon".
The sordid tale unfolds with this sneaky cop, hailing from Police Department No3, and his cunning accomplices. Their despicable plan? Extortion, luring an unwitting city resident to a gas station, and later a remote countryside house. After several harrowing days, his freedom came at a steep price—money, an Audi, and a signed power of attorney for the car in one of the extortionists' names, amounting to over 9 million tenge.
Desperate to spin a yarn, the now-incarcerated cop claimed he was merely attempting to recover his lost funds. This investment of over a million tenge, he said, had been siphoned into the sketchy "Profitable Loan" financial pyramid, registered under someone else's name. When the LLP folded, he decided to track down the mastermind and reclaim his dough. He dubbed his actions self-help, not extortion.
However, the court saw right through his ruse. His accomplices and he were not listed as victims in the financial pyramid case, nor did they possess any dubious accounts in "Profitable Loan" LLP. The conviction stood firm—seven years in the slammer for extortion. His partners-in-crime received six and five years, respectively, and were also hit with illegal deprivation of liberty charges. Luckily for them, the victim showed mercy, and the case was put to rest.
As for the victim, he too soon found himself entangled in the "Profitable Loan" and "Guarantor 24 Lomobar" financial pyramid snares. A whopping 48 souls were ensnared in the scheme.
