On 24 May 2023 the Mazhilis accepted for consideration the draft Law on return of assets taken illegally to the state (the “Draft Law”).
The Draft Law regulates the matters on search, confirmation of origin and taking measures for the return of illegally acquired assets, as well as creation of a special state fund and a management company for accumulation and management of the returned assets.
The Draft Law sets up new department within the General Prosecutor's Office, which would be entrusted with the functions of the authorized body, responsible for implementing the measures stipulated therein.
Additionally certain amendments to 11 Codes and 13 Laws are planned for introduction to implement the provisions of the Draft Law.
