There are a number of corruption related crime cases in Kazakhstan but not all of them are available for public access.  From among available cases one may mention, as a matter of example, a case as of May 2009, when a former officer of the Northern Kazakhstan Oblast’s Tax Committee was found guilty of corruption and was sentenced to imprisonment for 7 and half years, with confiscation of all property.  In another similar case, one of the top rank officers of the tax committee of the special economic zone was sentenced to imprisonment for 7 years with the confiscation of all property.

Additionally, there is a Regulatory Ruling of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 18 dated 13 December 2001 “On the practice of consideration by courts of criminal cases on corruption-related crimes”, which contains explanatory recommendations  for lower courts for the purpose of the uniform application of the rules regarding liability for corruption.
