The North Kazakhstan Region Department of the Agency for Financial Monitoring has placed Kazakhstan citizen Grigory Otarovich Loria, born on 18 March 1954, on an interstate wanted list. He was the former president of the Kyzyl-Zhar SK football club LLP.
Loria is suspected of embezzling public funds and evading taxes totalling more than 414 million tenge.
In 2023, 1.7 billion tenge was allocated from the local budget to finance the football club’s activities.
According to investigators, the suspect acted in collusion with the chief accountant and others, used fictitious financial documents and arranged unjustified transfers to personal accounts. Investigators also say he ensured that knowingly false information was entered into accounting and tax reports.
In particular, the tax returns understated employees’ income, the payroll fund and the organisation’s total annual income.
The Agency for Financial Monitoring asks anyone with information about Loria’s whereabouts to call +7 7172 70 84 78. Call centre: 1458.
