The Financial Monitoring Agency (AFM) is conducting an investigation into the illegal sale of seized property that is subject to confiscation by a court order.
We are talking about the Nikolsky market in Almaty – at that time the territory belonged to Nikolsky Investment LLC, whose founder is Aidos Kospayev (brother of Yeldos Kospayev, who, according to AFM, is the organizer of the organized criminal group). As AFM specifies, the court seized this land plot with all the property for its subsequent confiscation.
As noted by the AFM, in September 2024, false information was entered into the information base of the NAO "Government for Citizens" and encumbrances were removed from the property. On October 5, the land plot and building, worth 2.2 billion tenge, were re-registered to fictitious persons for sale to foreign investors.
The agency clarifies that "three individuals previously convicted of fraud" have already been detained and, with the court's approval, a preventive measure of detention has been chosen for them. An accomplice in the production of forged title documents that facilitated the alienation of property has also been identified.
The investigation is ongoing.
The AFM clarified that the investigation into Kospaev’s organized crime group regarding the facts of the raider takeover of AV-Construction LLC, Glass Factory LLC, Shalkar 17 LLC, Bakhar-A LLC and other enterprises has already been completed.
