White-Collar Crimes In Kazakhstan

"The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws"
- Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome.

Kazakhstan is the Post-Soviet country which is facing and struggling with the corruption heavily. On the initial stages of its independence, Kazakhstan severely stressed the question of corruption. The state adopted several laws, codes and decrees aiming to eliminate the white collar crimes in Kazakhstan.

The annual Presidential address to state and its citizens always mentions anti-corruption issues and contribute to increase of public awareness on this matter. Anti-corruption measures are taken not only on country level, but on international level as well. The membership in the International Anti-Corruption Academy, ratification of UN Convention against Corruption and adoption of legislation for accurate implementation of Convention provisions are good examples.
