The team at BOLATBEK law firm successfully recovered 24,000,000 KZT that had been stolen by a private bailiff in Astana. Instead of transferring the debtor's funds to the creditor, the bailiff squandered them at a betting office. Our team promptly initiated a criminal case, located the bailiff, and secured all necessary evidence.

However, we faced significant challenges due to the investigators' low qualifications and potential corruption, which hampered the investigation process. In addition to the criminal case, we had to challenge the bailiff’s decision to terminate the enforcement proceedings. Through a multi-faceted approach, including work in civil court, criminal proceedings, and filing complaints with justice authorities and the President’s administration, we were able to secure the return of the stolen funds.

Furthermore, we successfully proved the illegality of the investigation's actions, achieved the recognition of the creditor as a victim, and annulled the unlawful termination of the enforcement proceedings. Overall, we must highlight the poor quality of work by the investigative department of the Yesil District Police, which allowed the bailiff who embezzled 24,000,000 KZT to evade criminal liability.

For our client, the outcome was favorable — the enforcement proceedings were fully executed in their favor, and the private bailiff returned the stolen 24,000,000 KZT.
