Kazakh ex-official Aidos Yespolov detained in high-profile KNB probe
Aidos Yespolov, a Kazakh businessman and former government official, is now under investigation by the country’s National Security Committee (KNB). Authorities have confirmed his detention, though no formal charges or arrest warrants have been made public yet. The case has drawn attention due to his past roles in politics and business. Yespolov’s career spans both public service and private enterprise. In 2006, he worked as deputy akim (mayor) of Aktobe. Later, he took on advisory roles, including a position with Astana EXPO-2017 and as an aide to the head of the Senate’s executive office. The KNB has not released further details about the investigation or potential charges. Yespolov’s detention follows a career marked by high-profile government and business positions. The outcome of the case will depend on the findings of the ongoing pre-trial proceedings.
