The Financial Monitoring Agency, with Interpol's support, returned Ulan Baibolov from Korea to Kazakhstan, who had been previously placed on the international wanted list. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
Baibolov was a member of an organized criminal group that systematically evaded taxes and other mandatory payments to the budget. According to the agency, enterprises were purchased and re-registered under fictitious directors. Financial transactions were conducted through their bank accounts. Deliberately distorted information was entered into tax reports, after which funds were cashed out.
One of the enterprises used in this scheme was Sfera LLP. In 2014, Baibolov was appointed as deputy director of this company. Members of the criminal group cashed out more than 2.5 billion tenge from the company's settlement accounts. Additionally, the amount of additionally assessed taxes exceeded 1 billion tenge.
The suspect has been taken into custody, and the investigation is ongoing.
