Authorities in Shymkent have successfully disrupted a criminal network that specialized in organizing illegal migration into Kazakhstan. The operation, led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, targeted individuals who facilitated the entry and unlawful stay of foreign nationals within the country for financial gain.

Criminal Network's Operations Uncovered

The organized group operated by bringing foreign citizens into Kazakhstan and then creating conditions for their illegal residency. They utilized forged documents and fabricated employment contracts to create a facade of legitimacy for their illicit activities, charging fees for these services.

Raids and Seizures

During extensive search and investigative operations, law enforcement conducted 28 raids. Authorities confiscated numerous foreign passports, computer equipment, communication devices, and a significant quantity of counterfeit documents and blank forms. Additionally, a substantial amount of cash and unregistered firearms were discovered and seized.

Detentions and Investigation

The alleged organizer of the criminal group has been placed in a temporary detention facility. A total of 13 individuals suspected of involvement in these illegal activities were brought in for questioning. A pre-trial investigation has been launched against the detained individuals for organizing illegal migration.

This operation follows similar efforts by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in January, which also targeted criminal groups involved in illegal migration and border crossings across various regions of Kazakhstan.
