In Zhetysu, a logistics company faced an increased administrative fine of 262.6 million tenge for violating currency repatriation requirements. After the prosecutor's office intervened, an additional 55.7 million tenge was recovered to the budget, reports the website infohub.kz.
According to the regional prosecutor's office, the case involves a branch of a joint-stock company engaged in international multimodal logistics. The company was held administratively liable under paragraph 2 of Article 251 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses.
Initially, the Panfilov District Court imposed a fine of 206.9 million tenge on the branch. However, the prosecutor's office of Panfilov District believed that the court did not fully take into account the requirements of Article 44 of the Administrative Code when imposing the penalty, and filed an appeal.
"The appellate court upheld the prosecutor's position and increased the fine to 262.6 million tenge. Thus, thanks to the measures taken, an additional 55.7 million tenge was ensured to be collected into the state revenue," the supervisory authority reported.
Currently, the company has fully paid the administrative fine. 262.6 million tenge has been transferred to the budget.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that Karaganda Su LLP was fined nearly 10 million tenge for dirty wastewater.
