FROM ALMATY TO DUBAI: HOW THE INACTION OF KAZAKHSTAN'S AUTHORITIES LED TO AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME THE CASE OF ZHANBOLAT SERIKOV — A SCHEME THAT COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN KAZAKHSTAN 


In 2024, the Department of Police, the Prosecutor's Office, and other state authorities in Almaty received multiple complaints from the victims of fraud, which caused direct damages amounting to 1.8 million US dollars. These complaints pointed to the illegal seizure of four real estate properties using forged payment documents. However, all the appeals were systematically ignored. 

The responses from the competent authorities were merely formal, consisting of boilerplate replies and refusals to initiate criminal proceedings, despite the submitted documents, testimonies, and damage assessments. 

This inaction is not only unacceptable — it became the catalyst for a new phase of criminal activity by the perpetrators. 

TIMELINE: HOW SILENCE IN ALMATY TURNED INTO A HIGH-PROFILE CASE IN DUBAI 

December 2024 — Zhanbolat Serikov, one of the suspects in the Almaty case, leaves Kazakhstan for Dubai. January 1, 2025 — An armed assault takes place in Dubai against Edward Sabirov (a co-founder of Finiko), during which $327,000 is stolen. 

His wife is also injured. January 3, 2025 — Serikov is detained in Baku at the request of the UAE. 

Had a criminal case been promptly opened for the fraud in Almaty, the suspect would not have been able to leave the country and organize a crime in the UAE. 

WHO IS ZHANBOLAT SERIKOV?

Background and connections: Son-in-law of Kairat Kelimbetov (former head of the National Bank), close friend of “Wild Arman.” Debts and companies: Serikov has debts exceeding 3 billion tenge, including liabilities to Freedom Finance, ForteBank, and others. 

He is also the owner of the nightclub “Crystal” in Almaty and linked to several companies, some of which have been liquidated. 




Attack organization: 

According to a journalistic investigation by Orda.kz, Serikov is believed to be the organizer of the Dubai crime, along with a group of individuals — some detained in Russia, others in Central Asia. 

AN INTERNATIONAL PRECEDENT 

This case sets a dangerous precedent of transnational impunity where: 

Local authorities refuse to prosecute individuals with high-level connections, even when evidence is provided. Suspects continue their criminal activities abroad, leading to an international scandal. Kazakhstan loses its reputation as a country capable of upholding the rule of law. 

WE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY 

The Specialized International Detective and Legal Service EURASIA-POL and Counter Crime Intelligence Organization (CCIO) confirm: 

We possess documents, testimonies, appeals, and copies of official replies proving the deliberate inaction and stalling of the case. We will continue collecting and publishing materials. 

The next release will include names of officials responsible for concealing the investigation, their connections, and methods of exerting pressure. 

WE WARNED YOU. BUT WE WERE NOT HEARD. NOW WE HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDLY.
