Swindler or Scapegoat? Provisional Verdict Announced in Large-Scale Kazakh Embezzlement Case
On July 25, a verdict was delivered in a high-profile embezzlement case in Kazakhstan, sentencing Perizat Kairat to 10 years in prison for fraud. Kairat was charged with laundering 3.5 billion tenge ($6.45 million) through her charity, Biz Birgemiz Qasaqstan (We Are Together Kazakhstan). Alongside her mother, Gaini Alashabaeva, who was sentenced to seven years in prison, the authorities alleged that Kairat used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, including purchases of real estate, vacations, and designer clothes. The luxuries seemingly come at the expense of Kazakh citizens who had donated to help compatriots affected by the devastating floods that hit Kazakhstan in 2024. The case sparked public outrage and generated major media attention due to the scale of the stolen funds. At the same time, some have speculated that the case could damage trust in the charity sector altogether. While Kairat's lawyer intends to appeal the verdict, maintaining her innocence throughout the trial, Kairat herself has blamed the embezzlement on Kazakhstan's ruling party, Amanat (formerly Nur Otan). Although Biz Birgemiz Qasaqstan was established in 2021, reportedly to aid victims of forest fires and, later, civilians in Gaza, it wasn't until the spring of 2024 that the charity gained national attention. At that time, the country was hit by the most severe floods in 80 years, affecting large parts of Kazakhstan. As 120,000 citizens were internally displaced, Kairat began raising money for those affected. Funds poured in from all sides, with several major Kazakh banks collectively donating more than $1.5 million. In addition to corporate donations, many ordinary citizens also contributed money to Biz Birgemiz Qasaqstan, raising funds for the distribution of humanitarian aid in the hardest-hit areas. In total, Kairat's team raised around $5 million. Of this amount, however, only $1.7 million ended up being used as actual humanitarian assistance. The rest was allegedly pocketed by Kairat and her mother, with court statements revealing that the remaining funds were used to sweeten their personal lives. Most notably, this included the purchase of a $12,920 Rolex watch, $599,268 spent on apartments around Astana, and multiple cars costing $291,705. What many of these purchases had in common was that they were made in the wake of the spring floods, many even paid for in cash. In addition to the prison sentences, most of the assets seized during the investigation will be used to reimburse victims of the scheme. Kairat wasn't the sole founder of Biz Birgemiz Qasaqstan. In fact, there were nine co-founders, many of whom share one key trait: links to the political party Amanat, founded by former Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Although several names were mentioned, one individual stood out during the case: former Amanat Chairman Bauyrzhan Baibek. On July 14, Kairat herself requested that the court summon him for questioning: 'I would like the procedure to begin with the interrogation of the founder of the foundation… I am accused of having allegedly created it with my mother and forged signatures when it was created under the leadership of Baibek. And all the founders … except for me are former or current employees of the party,' Kairat stated in court. But while Baibek was mentioned by both Kairat and several of the official co-founders who were questioned, he was never summoned. Despite multiple connections between the Biz Birgemiz Qasaqstan fund and Amanat members, the party has denied any involvement. This was stated, among others, by the leader of the party faction in parliament, Elnur Beisenbaev, in 2024. 'This fund has nothing to do with the party, it is a private fund. There are a number of people who are the founders of this fund. The media reported that they are members of the Amanat party. Yes, they are members of the Amanat party… but in 2021 they were activists, volunteers; they had the goal of creating a community where they would develop volunteer activities,' he said. While the embezzlement case appears far from closed, it is difficult to say whether the appeals process will lead to a different outcome for Kairat, her mother, or anyone else involved. What can be said, however, is that the case has created a trust issue for the Kazakh charity sector.

Gang violence rocks Haiti's capital ahead of political handoff
Gang violence flared in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince on Thursday and a top gang leader threatened the country's precarious government as it prepared to hand over its rotating leadership. Businessman Laurent Saint-Cyr is set to step into the rotating presidency of Haiti's transitional presidential council on Thursday, taking over from former central bank chief Fritz Alphonse Jean as the council and security authorities struggle to wrest control from powerful gangs. The Kenya-led multinational security support mission operating in Haiti said it had thwarted attacks on Thursday that gangs had plotted to "disrupt national stability and render the country ungovernable." Three officers from the mission were briefly hospitalized after two armed mission vehicles came under attack by Molotov cocktails and were set ablaze, the mission said in a statement. Bursts of gunfire were also heard in parts of the capital on Thursday morning. Gang alliance leader Jimmy Cherizier, alias Barbecue, said on Thursday that the gangs were planning to disrupt Saint-Cyr's transition later in the day. "We have decided to march on the Premier's office and the Villa d'Accueil to end it all," Cherizier said in a video shared on social media. Saint-Cyr is scheduled to take over the rotating presidency at a ceremony at the Villa d'Accueil, which has been serving as the government headquarters since the National Palace in downtown Port-au-Prince has become the site of frequent gun battles. His term runs until February 7, 2026, when the council's mandate was set to end and a newly elected president be inaugurated, although it is unclear if elections called for November will be able to take place. The transitional council, which took power in April last year, has been marked by political in-fighting. It has been criticized by many Haitians, including the country's top police unions, for failing to address the violence. Cherizier, a former police office alleged by the United Nations to have played a role in multiple massacres, has previously called for the toppling of Haiti's unelected government. © Thomson Reuters 2025.

19 Tokyo police officers punished over wrongful arrests
Tokyo police on Thursday announced disciplinary measures against 19 high-ranking officials over the wrongful arrests and indictments of three men in 2020 in connection with a case involving the suspected unauthorized export of sensitive equipment. In a rare public apology, Superintendent General Yuji Sakoda acknowledged the Metropolitan Police Department's failings, saying the incident caused "considerable stress and burden" to the president of machinery maker Ohkawara Kakohki Co and two others. The Metropolitan Police Department also released a review report concluding that dysfunction in the investigative chain of command led to the wrongful arrests. The Supreme Public Prosecutors Office also released a review Thursday acknowledging it failed to thoroughly examine evidence that could have proven the men's innocence. It also stated prosecutors "should deeply regret" that the bail applications could have been handled flexibly, as one of the arrested men died of lung cancer while in detention. Company president Masaaki Okawara, 76, and the two other men were arrested and indicted between March and June 2020 on suspicion of illegally exporting spray dryers that could be used to produce biological agents. Prosecutors dropped the charges in July 2021. In May this year, the Tokyo High Court ruled the arrests and indictments were unlawful and ordered the Tokyo government and the state to compensate the three men. After the ruling was finalized, representatives of the police and prosecutors visited the company to apologize. Okawara said at a press conference in Tokyo that he thought the reviews were "not quite the detail I was expecting." Among the 19 who were reprimanded were retired officials such as Yasuo Niimi, former head of the Tokyo police's public safety bureau, and his successor, Tomohisa Kondo. While they could not be formally disciplined, they were still named as responsible. The police report said an experienced on-site commander prioritized building a case against the accused and overlooked evidence that pointed to their innocence, creating an environment where subordinates found it difficult to object. The report noted that a section chief failed to recognize the lack of communication and discord within the investigation team. The chief also neglected to properly supervise the team, including the on-site commander, and did not ensure proper reporting to the bureau head. As a result, contradictory information was rarely conveyed to the bureau chief, and no meaningful oversight was exercised, the report said. To prevent a recurrence, the police will hold investigation meetings led by the bureau chief for key cases, requiring members to report all information, including details unfavorable to a case's prosecution. The National Police Agency also plans to instruct police nationwide to improve transparency in investigations involving suspected unauthorized exports of sensitive equipment by recording audio and video during questioning, the report said. © KYODO
