The Department of Economic Investigations for the city of Astana under the Financial Monitoring Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan organized and held a meeting with students of S. Seifullin KATIU

The head of state has set the task of systematically increasing the legal and financial literacy of citizens.

In this regard, the Department of Economic Investigations for the city of Astana under the Financial Monitoring Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in order to strengthen interaction and increase financial literacy, organized and held a meeting with students of S. Seifullin KATIU on December 13.

A senior investigator of the 2nd Investigation Department of the Department, Akmatov Jalal, made a report on the topic “Countering financial pyramids”, “Gaming addiction and illegal gambling business”.

The speaker noted that now our citizens can independently check websites and social networks for signs of financial pyramids. This will prevent them from becoming involved in fraudulent schemes.

One of the social ills of modern society is gambling addiction. The gambling business causes enormous damage to people's health. People who are addicted to gambling first lose their own money and commit crimes. Gambling addiction is a psychological disease, and this disease is taken advantage of by unscrupulous businessmen who, using cunning schemes, extract the last of their money from people. This year, the measures taken have strengthened the work to suppress the illegal activities of gambling establishments, the speaker noted.

Senior detective (investigator) 1 of the Department’s Operations Directorate held a discussion with students on the topic “Crimes in the field of illicit trafficking in digital assets.”

The chief specialist of the Administrative Department, Asylbek Akzere, provided clarifications on the issues of admission to the Academy of Law Enforcement Agencies under the General Prosecutor's Office and on practical training for students at the Department of Economic Investigations in the city of Astana, and also noted the possibility of employment in the territorial divisions of the Agency.

In conclusion, employees of the Department urge you to be vigilant and not to invest your savings in dubious financial organizations or to gamble, which lead to negative consequences.

This event was organized by the head of the department of “Economics” Temirova Akmaral, the head of the department of “Finance, accounting and audit” and deputy dean Havjalel Kasymkhan.
