Overview

  • Anti-corruption officials say an OGP prosecutor and lawyers sought $3.5 million to secure the closure of a NABU case by allegedly bribing SAP prosecutors and High Anti-Corruption Court judges.
  • Investigators report the intermediaries received a $200,000 partial payment, with the alleged scheme unfolding between February and September 2025.
  • NABU conducted searches of two OGP prosecutors under a High Anti-Corruption Court warrant, and the OGP says one search yielded no items of evidentiary value.
  • The Prosecutor General’s Office asserts a potential conflict of interest because one searched prosecutor works on cases examining alleged misconduct by NABU detectives, including Ruslan Magamedrasulov, and it has requested full case materials for internal review.
  • The SBU previously charged Magamedrasulov with aiding a state aggressor and published case materials, while the Center for Countering Corruption has disputed aspects of that evidence.
