An Internet purchase for illegal transfers was issued to a Kazakh business.
A scheme of illegal transfers to foreign online casinos has been uncovered in Kazakhstan. The program included the details of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, and in some cases their owners did not know about it.
According to the Financial Monitoring Agency, Internet purchase terminals were opened in the name of these companies and entrepreneurs, and fictitious contracts and websites created the appearance of payment for goods and services. The funds were then transferred to foreign counterparties, including through cryptocurrencies.
The operations were carried out in the interests of foreign online casinos, including Nomadgames, Sultangames, Pinko, Pin-UP, Vavada, Mostbet and "1WIN" through the payment infrastructure of three controlled companies, which included hundreds of terminals in various banks. The total volume of transactions amounted to 191 billion tenge.
The organizer of the program is in custody. The case was transferred to the court. In the court's decision, four cars and 103 million tenge in cash related to the defendants in the case were seized.
