The case involves the construction of a residential complex in Astana, Kazakhstan's capital, according to AKIpress. The suspect had been on an international wanted list.
Housing fraud is a sore point in Kazakhstan's fast-growing cities, where buyers pay upfront for apartments that are sometimes never finished. Each arrest is watched closely by families still waiting for their homes.
