Ivan Dorn was found accountable in the Perizat Kairat case.
In a dramatic turn of events, Perizat Kairat, a prominent Kazakh public figure and entrepreneur, is currently standing trial for allegations of embezzlement and paying for non-performance. Kairat, who is known as the founder and head of a charitable foundation established in June 2021, was arrested in November 2024 on charges of embezzling more than 1.5 billion tenge (approximately $3.5 million USD) collected for aid to flood victims.
The investigation alleges that some of these funds were spent on personal needs, including the purchase of luxury real estate, cars, and expensive travel. However, no specific details have been disclosed about these assets. The court has listed the property seized during the investigation, but no new information has been made public regarding the luxury real estate, cars, or expensive travel purchased by Kairat.
The trial, which is currently underway, has seen several intriguing revelations. It has been revealed that Kairat may have involved friends and relatives in cashing out the foundation's funds, paying them for services. Another episode of illegal activity by Kairat involves embezzling funds collected for humanitarian aid to Palestinian residents.
One of the most shocking revelations came to light during the trial when it was discovered that Ivan Dorn, a famous Ukrainian singer, was paid 9 thousand euros (approximately 5.5 million tenge) for a performance that did not take place in Astana. The payment for Ivan Dorn's non-performance was discovered during a search related to the case of Perizat Kairat. It is important to note that there is no publicly available information or credible news reports regarding an investigation involving Ivan Dorn, Perizat Kairat, or any embezzlement case related to concert fees as of now.
The court ruled to make the trial in the case of Perizat Kairat and her mother partly closed. This decision was made due to confidential information, including banking secrecy, that will be discussed during the interrogation of the accused, which will take place in a closed session.
The victims in the Perizat Kaiarat case have come forward, with many stating that they had decided to provide charitable aid, swayed by advertisements on social media. The parents of students at the capital's Nazarbayev Intellectual School were among the victims.
A pensioner has demanded that Perizat Kaiarat return 1 million tenge, while the court presented information on Kairat's education. The investigation into the case of Perizat Kairat has been completed, and the judge has reprimanded the defense lawyer and dismissed his question during the trial.
As the trial continues, the public awaits further developments and a verdict in this high-profile case. The allegations against Perizat Kairat have raised questions about the transparency and accountability of charitable foundations in Kazakhstan, and the outcome of the trial is likely to have significant implications for the future of charitable giving in the country.
