"In court, revelations were made concerning Perizat Kairat's educational background"
Perizat Kairat, a prominent Kazakh public figure and entrepreneur, found herself in the spotlight in November 2024, following her arrest on charges of embezzling over 1.5 billion tenge collected for flood relief. The funds, alleged to have been misused, were reportedly spent on luxury real estate, high-end cars, and extravagant trips.
Kairat, the founder and former head of the Biz Birgemiz Qazaqstan 2030 charitable foundation, was also active in the Nur Otan party's youth wing, focusing on charitable work. However, detailed information about her formal educational background, such as degrees or institutions attended, remains undisclosed.
During the legal proceedings, no mentions or indications were found that question or allege anything about her educational credentials. The accusations against Kairat primarily relate to financial crimes, including fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering.
Investigations suggest that Kairat may have involved friends and relatives in cashing out the foundation's funds, paying them for services. Deceit is a potential issue that has arisen in the case.
The banks were reportedly involved in transactions related to Kairat. The court ruled to make the trial of Kairat and her mother partially closed due to confidential information, including banking secrecy.
Kairat graduated from School No. 10 in Atyrau and had a background in choral conducting, but there is no record of her graduating from college in the same region, where she enrolled in 2006, majoring in choral conducting.
The importance of education, both formal qualifications and self-education, is emphasised in this context. The investigation into Kairat's case has been completed, but the court's final ruling is yet to be announced.
Comparisons have been drawn between Kairat and a Kazakh "Pandora's Box", suggesting a complex and controversial figure. Kairat's conducting skills are also mentioned in various reports, highlighting her versatility.
Rumours suggest that Kairat allegedly received large sums of money, possibly from political connections. Gani Not Nur Nuru, a founder of the Amanat party, has been mentioned in relation to the case, but the specifics remain unclear.
As the trial progresses, the focus remains on the financial crimes and the misuse of charitable funds. The public awaits the court's decision, which will bring closure to this high-profile case.
Kairat's educational background has not been heavily discussed amidst the general-news and politics surrounding her financial crimes, such as fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering, in the context of her charitable foundation. Despite her involvement in the Nur Otan party's youth wing, there is no formal record of her graduating from college, even though she enrolled in choral conducting in the same region where she attended School No. 10 in Atyrau.
