Authorities in Astana have launched an investigation into a 25-year-old entrepreneur and her employee suspected of orchestrating a large-scale fraud scheme involving a car dealership. The business, which specialized in reselling used vehicles, allegedly operated a deceptive practice that targeted both those selling cars and those looking to buy.

The Deceptive Operation

Initially, the car dealership operated legally, acting as a commission-based agent to sell vehicles on behalf of their owners for a fee. However, investigators discovered that the suspects gradually began to divert the proceeds from vehicle sales for their own benefit, rather than remitting the funds to the rightful owners.

Double Deception

The alleged fraud extended to both sides of the transaction. Buyers who paid for vehicles were reportedly not receiving their cars within the promised timeframe. Furthermore, the suspects are accused of using vehicles that had already been sold to buyers, either for their personal use or by renting them out, further compounding the deception.

Ongoing Investigation

Both the 25-year-old owner and her employee have been taken into custody. Police are currently conducting a pre-trial investigation to determine the full extent of their alleged criminal activities and whether they were involved in similar offenses. The exact financial losses incurred by victims have not yet been disclosed.
