Dollars “rained down” from the window onto the doorstep

Suitcases filled with US dollar bills were discovered near the "Atlant-6" residential complex in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. Reports circulated on social media suggesting that the money had been thrown from a window of the residential building; however, this information has not been officially confirmed.

Against the backdrop of this incident, it has been revealed that the heads of two major state-owned entities in Kazakhstan have been taken into custody. The National Security Committee confirmed that Nurlan Zhakupov, head of the "Samruk-Kazyna" sovereign wealth fund, and Yelzhas Otynshiyev, head of the "Kazakhstan Temir Zholy" (Kazakhstan Railways) company, were arrested on November 11 as part of a corruption investigation.

According to local media, they are suspected of attempting to solicit a very large bribe.
The investigation is currently ongoing. It has not yet been determined whether the money found in the suitcases is linked to these arrests, nor has the ownership of the funds been established.
