“Tagdyr” fund received complainants
Almaty, 06 January 2008, (Khabar) - People who suffered from actions of Rakhat Aliyev started turning to “Tagdyr” public fund established recently. Adonis Derbas, former business associate of the ex-ambassador has become one of the first people to do so. The citizen of Canada addressed his statement to the public of Kazakhstan about not having anything to do with the documents brought to the law enforcement agencies in Austria. It is known that the court of Vienna refused Rakhat Aliyev’s extradition based on the legal action supposedly initiated by Adonis himself.
The Canadian businessman is sure that the statement in his name was sent to the Austrian court by the ex-ambassador himself. The entrepreneur focuses the attention on the fact that no legal action has been initiated from his side in the court in Austria.
Adonis Derbas, entrepreneur:
- I assert again that I haven’t been to the court of Austria, only in the lobby of Marriott hotel. Alnur Musayev, the ex-chairman of the National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan, introduced me to two men, who introduced themselves as lawyers of Mr. Aliyev and then it turned out that one of them is the head of criminal police of Vienna from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Austria which we got to know later. It felt as if they were protecting him because Rakhat Aliyev paid them.
Adonis Derbas had started a joint business with Rakhat Aliyev at the end of 90s in Kazakhstan. According to him, he had to give a part of his profit for the protection of the ex-ambassador and some time later Rakhat Aliyev took away the whole business. As a result, Adonis himself was put into prison and later deported. The businessman notes that after this experience he concluded that Rakhat Aliyev couldn’t be trusted at all. The citizen of Canada estimates the damage caused by Rakhat Aliyev at 17 million US dollars. Apart from that, according to Adonis, Rakhat Aliyev has registered dozens of companies in his name both in Kazakhstan and abroad, transferring multi-million sums of money, and carried out illegal deals by cashing money in Europe.
Adonis asserts that the criminal managed to drain the accounts without the knowledge of the owner.
Adonis Derbas businessman:
- I had 1.3 billion tenge on my bank account in Nurbank and I wrote to Nurbank asking not to give this money to anybody. Anyway, the money was withdrawn while I was sitting in jail.
The businessman says that Rakhat Aliyev and his trustees turned to him several times asking to protect him in the Austrian court. For doing so, the criminals promised him a large monetary reward. However, Adonis turned all the offers down. Today, Adonis Derbas is cooperating with the Tagyr foundation in the investigation into illegal takeovers made by Rakhat Aliyev, and to achieve his extradition. According to Adonis, in the west, people know very little about Kazakhstan’s ex-ambassador and Aliyev uses this fact to persuade everyone that he is being pursued for political reasons.
