Four strangers apprehended in the Almaty outskirts

Rewritten Article:

Cops collar four international fugitives lurking in Almaty region, as per Liter.kz's report.

These hoodlums, a 41-year-old woman and three lads born in '80, '89, and '90, have quite a rap sheet—accusations ranging from running a multi-million dollar swindle to hoodwinking their very own fellow citizens under false promises of employment. Evidence points to these sneaky scoundrels taking refuge in Kazakhstan, with plans to extend their criminal activities.

The swindlers are now tucked away in a holding cell. Officials are deliberating on sending them packing, and they're also digging into whether they've been mixed up in other chicanery.

Don't miss these other juicy stories:

  • Fraudster nabbed in Ust-Kamenogorsk
  • High-rolling philanthropist evades Almaty cops
  • Drug kingpin snared in Shymkent

It's worth noting that, while results don't provide much grit on the four criminals taken down in Almaty, they do mention the capture of a foreigner at Almaty Airport for conning Turks out of cash via fake online pet sales, as well as Tarik Volkan Oskay, a Turkish big-shot and CEO of NEF Qazaqstan. He found himself on Almaty's most-wanted list, but without global warrants; issues with his company's finances likely played a part.
