Heads of Samruk-Kazyna and Kazakhstan Temir Zholy detained in Kazakhstan on corruption suspicions
Kazakhstan's National Security Committee reported on November 12 that the head of the largest state fund Samruk-Kazyna, Nurlan Zhakupov, and the head of Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, Elzhas Otinshiyev, had been detained. President Tokayev called the incident a signal of large-scale corruption in state companies and instructed the government to prepare proposals within 10 days. Videos showing suitcases of money in Astana are circulating on social media, but there is no official confirmation of their connection to the case.
