Ex-Freedom Finance Manager Accused of Transferring Millions in Unlawful Payments
A court in Petropavlovsk has revealed that Vitaliy Svetovoy, a former top manager at Freedom Finance, allegedly transferred tens of millions of tenge to his colleagues as part of an alleged fraud scheme. These transactions were reportedly processed through Freedom Bank Kazakhstan, a financial institution associated with billionaire Timur Turlov.
Suspicious Transfers Uncovered
Court documents indicate that Svetovoy transferred nearly 5 million tenge to Daniyar D., the director of a Freedom Finance branch, marking the funds as 'gratuitous.' Similar 'gratuitous' transfers were allegedly made to other company employees, including Arman D. (nearly 3 million tenge) and Yerkin M. (over 50.6 million tenge). All these operations were conducted via Freedom Bank Kazakhstan.
More Alleged Irregular Payments
Further scrutiny revealed more questionable transactions. Yerlan R. reportedly received over 6.2 million tenge, while Alibek S., a director at Freedom, received more than 9 million tenge, both marked as 'gratuitous.' Nursultan T., a resident of Astana and Freedom Finance employee, received over 4.1 million tenge, with part of it designated as 'material assistance.' Almas Sh., an employee from Almaty, also received approximately 6 million tenge in 'gratuitous' transfers through the same bank. Smaller 'gratuitous' transfers were also recorded for Ruzana A. (900,000 tenge) and Nikolay M. (around 120,000 tenge).
Court Proceedings Underway
The facts of these transfers and the identities of the employees involved have been confirmed by the prosecutor's indictment and testimonies given in court. These documents suggest that Turlov's structures may have been aware of Svetovoy's actions. The court proceedings concerning the alleged unlawful transfer of substantial funds are ongoing.
