“For many years we have been building a legal state in Kazakhstan. Its fundamental principle is that the law is one for everyone. If one of my relatives used my name as a cover for violation of the law, then they must bear the corresponding a responsibility”. This was stated by the first president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev in an interview with the famous Kazakh political leader Daniyar Ashimbaev, who published the text in his Telegram channel.
The first president of Kazakhstan noted that “guilt should be proved in court. We must not forget that every citizen has the right to legitimate protection.”
I think that everyone remembers the story with Rakhat Aliyev. He was my daughter’s husband. He was practically like a son, he was the father of my grandchildren. But all this did not become a basis for the state to close his eyes to his illegal actions. He was convicted of Kazakhstani justice. But he managed to hide and hid the rest of his life. An unenviable fate, ”said the first president of Kazakhstan.
Rakhat Aliyev is the ex -husband of the eldest daughter Nursultan Nazarbayeva Darigi. Over the years, he was an ambassador of Kazakhstan to Austria, a representative of the country at the OSCE, the deputy head of the Presidential Protection Service, the first deputy minister of foreign affairs, headed the National Olympic Committee. In 2007, Rakhat Aliyev was accused of involvement in the abduction of the deputy chairman of the Nurbank Zholdas Timraliev. In 2008, he was found in absentia guilty of involvement in the abduction of a banker and an attempt to organize a coup and sentenced to 40 years in prison. In June 2014, Rahata Aliyev was arrested in Vienna. Austria authorities refused to give him to their homeland. At the end of December 2014, the Vienna prosecutor’s office brought Rahata Aliyev the charge of the murder of two managers of the bank. In February 2015, Rakhat Aliyev was found in prison without signs of life, according to investigators, he committed suicide.
