Suitcases with piles of dollars were thrown from the window of a residential complex in Astana, Baza writes. This happened against the background of the arrest of the heads of two of the largest state-owned companies in Kazakhstan.
The head of the Samrok-Kazina fund, Nurlan Zhakupov, and the head of the Kazakhstan Railway, Aljas Utinshev, were arrested on suspicion of corruption. The arrests were approved by the National Security Committee.
Samrock-Casina manages the largest state assets in the country in the fields of energy, industry and transportation.
