Yergali Amanbayev, a district deputy in the Turkistan region who previously made headlines for a traffic violation scandal involving a Lexus with license plate "777," is again under police scrutiny — this time on suspicion of raping a Chinese woman. The information comes from the Telegram channel Halyqstan, as reported by infohub.kz.
According to the Telegram channel Halyqstan, the Baidibek district police received a complaint from a woman in Almaty. She said she traveled to the village of Baizhansay with four Chinese acquaintances — potential investors interested in lead-zinc mining in the area. Deputy Amanbayev met and accompanied the guests, later arranging a leisure outing.
However, the complaint alleges that the deputy's hospitality went far beyond appropriate boundaries. The woman claims that Amanbayev drove the 34-year-old Chinese citizen in his Lexus — the same vehicle used in earlier dangerous driving stunts in Shymkent — to a deserted location and forced her into sexual intercourse against her will.
An officer from the Turkistan Regional Police Department told NUR.KZ that a pre-trial investigation is underway. The suspect, a resident of Shymkent, has been identified and taken into custody. Authorities are conducting necessary measures to establish all circumstances. Based on the investigation results, a decision will be made in accordance with current legislation. In accordance with Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Kazakhstan, the press service refrained from disclosing additional information in the interests of the investigation.
Previously, in August of last year, a video surfaced online showing a Lexus with the "777" vanity plate committing traffic violations in Shymkent. Users recognized the driver as Yergali Amanbayev, a district deputy of the Baidibek district in the Turkistan region. Shymkent police reported that the driver was held accountable under several articles of the Administrative Code: driving with fake license plates, driving into oncoming traffic, lack of mandatory insurance, failure to wear a seatbelt, reversing in prohibited areas, and failure to signal before moving. He was sentenced to four days of arrest and had his driver's license suspended for one year. However, his colleagues found that his actions did not violate standards of parliamentary ethics.
