Kazakhstan busts fake police extortion ring targeting Chinese nationals
A criminal group in Kazakhstan has been dismantled after posing as law enforcement officers to extort money from foreign nationals. The suspects specifically targeted Chinese citizens. The fraudsters operated by impersonating police officers, claiming they needed cooperation in high-value investigations. Victims were pressured into paying money, believing they were dealing with legitimate authorities. In total, the group obtained around 5.5 million tenge through their scheme. The dismantling of this group follows a coordinated effort by local law enforcement. With the suspects now in custody, the investigation will determine the full extent of their activities. The recovered funds and evidence will play a key role in the legal proceedings ahead.
