Suitcases with piles of dollars were thrown from the window of a residential complex in Astana.
In Kazakhstan, the heads of the country's two largest state-owned companies were detained on suspicion of corruption: Norlan Zhakupov (head of the Samrok-Kazina state investment fund) and Alzes Utinshiev (head of Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ). Both are suspected of accepting bribes on a particularly large scale.
The media wrote that during the arrest at the elite Atlant residential complex in Astana, several suitcases with dollar bills were thrown out of the window. But there is no official confirmation of the connection of this money with the case.
