According to a 14-page report by prosecutor Bettina Wallner, obtained by Austria’s OE1-Morgenjournal, the evidence is overwhelming that Rakhat Aliyev was responsible for the murders of two executives of Nurbank in Kazakhstan. The news story broke on October 31.
The slain bankers, Zholdas Timraliyev and Aybar Khasenov, were allegedly kidnapped, tortured, and murdered at a farmhouse that Aliyev owned. Their remains were then stuffed in a steel barrel and hidden in a trash dump.
The murdered men’s widows formed a group, Tagdyr, to push for the prosecution of Rakhat Aliyev and other perpetrators of the crimes.
Just days before the October 31 report about the double-murder charges, media outlets sympathetic to Aliyev ran a thinly-sourced article stating that the widows’ group was a front for Kazakhstan’s KNB intelligence service. The theme was identical to earlier Aliyev tactics to brand his opponents as tools of the Kazakh secret service.
In September, Forbes magazine exposed the Aliyev forgery campaign, done in association with his accomplices Issam Hourani and Devincci Hourani (Khourani), to surface forgeries as a way of smearing, intimidating, or otherwise harassing critics.
That same month, Tagdyr took up Anastasiya Novikova’s cause as Anastasiya’s mother expanded her involvement in seeking justice for her daughter’s murder.
