A man with multiple prior convictions has once again found himself in the dock in the Kostanay Region, receiving another prison term — this time in a maximum-security correctional facility. This is reported by infohub.kz.
According to the official Telegram channel of the courts of the Kostanay Region, the Auliekol District Court heard a criminal case against a defendant accused of repeated thefts involving unlawful entry into a dwelling, a storage facility and a vehicle (Article 188, Part 3, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
The court established that between 23 May and 7 June 2026, in the village of Auliekol, the defendant repeatedly committed thefts with unlawful entry into a dwelling, a garage, a storage facility and a vehicle. As a result, victims suffered damage totaling 670,400 tenge.
During the court pleadings, the state prosecutor requested a sentence of 4 years' imprisonment for the man. The defendant fully admitted his guilt.
The sanction under Part 3 of Article 188 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for alternative penalties — restriction of liberty for a term of two to seven years, or imprisonment for the same term, with confiscation of property.
In imposing the sentence, the court took into account as circumstances mitigating criminal liability and punishment the defendant's sincere remorse and full admission of guilt. Recidivism was recognized by the court as a circumstance aggravating criminal liability and punishment.
Taking into account the nature and degree of public danger of the acts committed, including the defendant's character as a person with multiple prior convictions, the court sentenced him to 3 years and 6 months' imprisonment, to be served in a maximum-security correctional facility. The convicted man was also ordered to pay the material damage caused.
The sentence has not yet entered into legal force.
