Four Astana Residential Complex Cases Sent to Court After Investigation

Investigations into criminal cases concerning the illegal attraction of citizens' funds for shared-equity construction in Astana have been completed. The total damage caused is estimated at 8.2 billion tenge.

The criminal cases against a group of individuals have been forwarded to court. Their actions resulted in particularly large-scale damage, affecting the interests of more than 426 families.

Investigators established that the organizers of the scheme collected money from citizens for the construction of residential complexes "Oasis," MZhK R-Club, and ZhK R-ClubDeluxe without obtaining the required permits, in violation of legal requirements. The raised funds were not used for their intended purpose, and the construction of the facilities was carried out improperly.

To secure civil claims from the victims, a court-sanctioned arrest has been imposed on movable and immovable property belonging to the suspects. This includes 10 apartments, 36 land plots, 16 non-residential premises, and 49 vehicles.

Twelve suspects have been placed in pre-trial detention.

The city prosecutor's office urges citizens to thoroughly verify the presence of a valid permit for attracting shareholder funds before purchasing an apartment. This step is crucial for avoiding fraud and protecting one's rights.
