An Uzbek national suspected of participating in an organized criminal group and of procuring has been extradited from Georgia to Kazakhstan, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the Telegram channel of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the suspect was extradited to Kazakhstan to face criminal prosecution.
"The investigation established that the said national, together with other members of an organized criminal group, took orders from individuals engaged in prostitution and other sexual services to top up the accounts of their profiles posted on the Kizdar.net internet resource, with the aim of promoting and advertising the sexual services they provide. The group's members withheld a commission from the incoming funds and transferred the remaining amount to the site's organizers, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the unlawful procurement scheme," the Prosecutor General's Office said.
It noted that some members of the organized criminal group have already been sentenced to various prison terms, while certain members, including the suspect, fled from the criminal prosecution authorities and were placed on the international wanted list.
"In July of this year, she was detained in Georgia and, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, extradited to Kazakhstan. She has now been placed in a pre-trial detention facility," the statement said.
The crimes she is charged with carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Recall that in June, the Almaty prosecutor's office reported the detention of the alleged organizers of the Kizdar.net internet resource. They were taken into custody with the sanction of a court. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also provided details of the special operation to detain those suspected of organizing the Kizdar.net internet resource.
On July 9, a court in Petropavlovsk handed down a verdict against members of a criminal group linked to the Kizdar.net website.
In July, it was reported that one of the suspected figures in the case linked to the Kizdar.net website had been detained in Georgia. The detainee may have been a manager of the site.
