In Sweden, at the request of the National Central Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, a 38-year-old man has been detained who was wanted internationally for committing a large-scale theft, reports Polisia.kz.
In October 2018, the suspect used fraudulent transfer schemes to steal 55 million tenge from a bank in Almaty.
"Currently, the individual is in custody abroad," the statement indicates.
It was previously reported that officials from the General Prosecutor's Office and Interpol extradited a Kazakh citizen from Serbia for large-scale fraud. The suspect, from 2018 to 2019, defrauded four individuals by posting false advertisements for the sale of special equipment, causing them a loss of $205,000. After committing the crime, the suspect fled and was placed on an international wanted list; he was detained in Serbia in 2023.
