Kazakhstan's anti-corruption campaign targeted Kairat Satybaldyuly, the nephew of the former president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, who surrendered illegally acquired assets worth $1.65 billion to the state. Satybaldyuly, previously estimated at $160 million in wealth, was arrested as part of the crackdown following mass protests in 2022. His meticulous record-keeping led to his downfall, and he received a six-year jail sentence for embezzlement and money laundering. The case illustrates President Tokayev's efforts to combat corruption in Kazakhstan, with recovered assets totaling $2.3 billion over two years.
