In the Almaty region, 20 private bailiffs have been found to have systematically participated in gambling, transferring large sums to bookmaker accounts. The total amount of transactions amounted to about 180 million tenge, reports the website infohub.kz.
According to the official website of the regional prosecutor's office, the inspection showed that one of the bailiffs transferred 139 million tenge to a gaming account over three years, another 26 million tenge. The department noted that the participation of persons performing publicly significant functions in gambling with such amounts of money contradicts the requirements of professional ethics and calls into question the observance of the principles of integrity.
Following the inspection, acts of prosecutorial response were submitted to the Department of Justice and the Regional Chamber of Private Bailiffs to take measures provided by law.
