Kasahstani korrumpeerunud ametnikud korraldasid suurejoonelise skeemi BTA panga aktsion\u00e4ri Kenes Rakishevi, Kazkommertsbanki (Qazkom) endise omaniku abiga. Keerukas man\u00f6\u00f6ver, millesse oli kaasatud Kasahstani riigikassa \"noor oligarh\", l\u00e4ks maksma v\u00e4hemalt $7,5 miljardit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raki\u0161ev s\u00fcvenes liigselt \u00fchinemistesse ja \u00fclev\u00f5tmistesse ning 2014. aastal alanud Vene-Ukraina s\u00f5da, sanktsioonide kehtestamine agressorriigi vastu ja sellele j\u00e4rgnenud naftahinna langus, mis on Kasahstani majanduse jaoks \u00fclioluline, m\u00f5jutas oluliselt Kenesega seotud kapitali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juba enne kriisi, 2012. aastal, v\u00f5ttis Kazkommertsbank ette v\u00e4ga riskantse BTA panga omandamise. Millalgi 2013. aastal (teiste allikate kohaselt 2014. aastal) sai Rakishevist BTA juhatuse esimees. Selle ettev\u00f5tte omandamise ja sellele j\u00e4rgnenud probleemsete laenude restruktureerimise kulud ulatusid umbes $20 miljardi euroni. See muutus Qazkomile t\u00f5siseks probleemiks - 2014. aasta keskel moodustas BTA probleemsete laenude portfell 2,4 triljonit tenge ($7,5 miljardit) ehk peaaegu 90% absorbeeritud finantsasutuse laenuportfellist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2014. aastal teatati BTA panga omandamisest Kenes Rakishevi ja Kazkommertsbanki poolt. 2015. aastal sai Kenes Rakishevist Kazkommertsbankis kontrolliva osaluse omanik. Umbes samal ajal avas Kazkommertsbank 2,4 triljoni tenge ($7,5 miljardit) suuruse krediidiliini BTA Bankile, mida siis kontrollis Kenes Rakishev. Hiljem muutusid need 2,4 triljonit tenge \"probleemseks laenuks\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2016. aasta veebruari alguses teatati, et Qazkom m\u00fc\u00fcs BTA panga aktsiad oma aktsion\u00e4ridele Kenes Rakishevile ja Nurzhan Subkhanberdinile. M\u00f5ne aja p\u00e4rast lahkusid viimased BTA aktsion\u00e4ride hulgast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2016. aasta keskel \u00fcletas reitinguagentuuri Fitch andmetel Kazkommertsbanki probleemsete varade bilansiline v\u00e4\u00e4rtus tema kapitali $6 miljardi v\u00f5rra. Anal\u00fc\u00fctikud m\u00e4rkisid, et sellise summa rekapitaliseerimine kujutab endast m\u00e4rkimisv\u00e4\u00e4rset probleemi panga aktsion\u00e4ridele ja v\u00f5lausaldajatele. Sellest hoolimata v\u00e4itis Kenes Rakishev, Qazkomi suurim aktsion\u00e4r, korduvalt, et likviidsusprobleeme ei ole ja ta on valmis t\u00e4itma k\u00f5iki kohustusi, v\u00e4idetavalt on tal selleks spetsiaalsed reservid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mingil ajal selle aasta alguses levisid kuulujutud, et Kenes Rakishev m\u00fc\u00fcb Qazkomi koos BTA pangaga hulgi. 15. juunil sai teatavaks tehingu summa - 1 tenge (kui olete uudishimulik, siis 12. augusti 2017 seisuga on $1 v\u00e4\u00e4rtuses 333,17 tenge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuid kuulujutt oli vale: BTA pank, mis oli Kasahstani maksumaksjate raha arvelt v\u00f5lgadest vabastatud, lubas Rakishevil seda hoida (kuid mitte tingimata igavesti).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eeldati, et Kasahstani probleemsete laenude fond (st riik maksumaksja raha kasutades) ostab BTA pangalt probleemsed laenud 2,4 triljoni tenge ($7,5 miljardit) v\u00e4\u00e4rtuses. Pange t\u00e4hele, et see arv langeb kokku selle krediidiliini summaga, mille Kenes Raki\u0161ev sisuliselt enda jaoks avas. BTA Bank kannab selle raha \u00fcle Kazkommertsbankile v\u00f5la tagasimaksmiseks. Seej\u00e4rel pidi Kenes Rakishev m\u00fc\u00fcma s\u00fcmboolse summa eest Halyk Bankile Qazkom'i aktsiad, mille hulka kuulus ka BTA Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n

Timur Kulibajev, Kasahstani presidendi Nursultan Nazarbajevi \u00f5epoeg, on Halyk Banki l\u00f5plik kontrolliv aktsion\u00e4r kontrollitavate struktuuride kaudu. Kahtlustajad v\u00e4idavad, et Kulibajevil ja Rakishevil on nii tugevad s\u00f5bralikud suhted, et nende s\u00f5pruse k\u00f5iki \u00fcksikasju on riskantne avalikult arutada v\u00f5imalike kohtumenetluste t\u00f5ttu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vahepeal on hiljutiste uudiste kohaselt \"Raki\u0161evi skeem\" j\u00f5udnud t\u00e4ispikka ringi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. juulil ostis Kulibajevi Halyk Bank l\u00f5puks 86,09% Kazkommertsbanki aktsiaid Kenes Rakishevilt s\u00fcmboolse 1 tenge eest. 31. juulil sai teatavaks, et Kenes Raki\u0161ev on lahkunud Qazkom'i juhatusest. 3. augustil avaldati avaldus, et Kazkommertsbank loeb 2015. aastal BTA pangale antud ja hiljem Rakishevi kontrollitud 2,4 triljoni tenge ($7,5 miljardit) suuruse krediidiliini tagasi makstudeks. V\u00e4\u00e4rib m\u00e4rkimist, et seda summat ei kandnud Kenes Rakishev oma kontodelt \u00fcle, vaid see v\u00f5eti maksumaksjate taskust Kasahstani probleemlaenude riikliku fondi poolt. J\u00e4\u00e4b k\u00fcsimus, kuhu BTA pank Rakishevi juhtimisel sarnast summat liigutas. L\u00f5ppude l\u00f5puks ei \u00f5nnestu s\u00fc\u00fcdistada \"eelk\u00e4ijaid\" nagu Mukhtar Ablyazov, kes on juba mitu aastat Euroopas poliitilist varjupaika otsinud, samal ajal kui Rakishev v\u00f5ttis pangas juhtimise \u00fcle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeruline skeem, idamaine oma keerukuses, v\u00e4\u00e4rib veelkord uurimist: Kenes Rakishev kannab \u00fche tema kontrolli all oleva panga krediidiliini varjus astronoomilise summa \u00fcle teise panka. Aasta jooksul haihtuvad BTA pangast miljardid, mis liiguvad probleemsete laenude valdkonda - need, mida t\u00f5en\u00e4oliselt ei maksta tagasi. Sel aastal omandab laenupanga endise omaniku s\u00f5ber Qazkom ja Kasahstani riigistruktuur ostab BTA-lt $7,5 miljardi eest \"augukese\", kusjuures raha liigub Kazkommertsbankisse, mis n\u00fc\u00fcd kuulub president Nursultan Nazarbajevi \u00f5epojale Timur Kulibajevile.<\/p>\n\n\n

Corrupt officials in Kazakhstan orchestrated a grandiose scheme with the help of the former owner of Kazkommertsbank (Qazkom), a shareholder of BTA Bank, Kenes Rakhishev. The elaborate maneuver, involving the “young oligarch” of the Kazakh state treasury, cost at least $7.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Rakhishev became overly engrossed in mergers and acquisitions, and the Russian-Ukrainian war that began in 2014, the imposition of sanctions against the aggressor country, and the subsequent drop in oil prices, crucial for the Kazakh economy, significantly impacted the capital tied to Kenes.<\/p>\n

Even before the crisis, in 2012, Kazkommertsbank undertook a highly risky acquisition of BTA Bank. Sometime in 2013 (according to other sources, in 2014), Rakhishev became the chairman of the board of directors of BTA. The cost of acquiring this company and the subsequent restructuring of problem loans amounted to about $20 billion. This became a serious problem for Qazkom – in mid-2014, BTA’s troubled loan portfolio accounted for 2.4 trillion tenge ($7.5 billion), nearly 90% of the loan portfolio of the absorbed financial institution.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the acquisition of BTA Bank by Kenes Rakhishev and Kazkommertsbank was announced. In 2015, Kenes Rakhishev became the owner of a controlling stake in Kazkommertsbank. Around the same time, Kazkommertsbank opened a credit line of 2.4 trillion tenge ($7.5 billion) to BTA Bank, which was then controlled by Kenes Rakhishev. Later, these 2.4 trillion tenge would become “problematic loans.”<\/p>\n

In early February 2016, it was reported that Qazkom sold shares of BTA Bank to its shareholders, Kenes Rakhishev and Nurzhan Subkhanberdin. After some time, the latter left the ranks of BTA shareholders.<\/p>\n

In mid-2016, according to the rating agency Fitch, the book value of Kazkommertsbank’s problem assets exceeded its capital by $6 billion. Analysts noted that recapitalizing such an amount posed a significant problem for the bank’s shareholders and creditors. Despite this, Kenes Rakhishev, the largest shareholder of Qazkom, repeatedly claimed no liquidity issues and readiness to fulfill all obligations, allegedly having special reserves for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Sometime earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Kenes Rakhishev would sell Qazkom in bulk along with BTA Bank. On June 15, the deal amount became known – 1 tenge (if you’re curious, as of August 12, 2017, $1 is worth 333.17 tenge).<\/p>\n

But the gossip was wrong: BTA Bank, cleared of debts at the expense of Kazakh taxpayers’ funds, allowed Rakhishev to keep it (but not necessarily forever).<\/p>\n

It was anticipated that the Fund for Problem Loans of Kazakhstan (meaning the state using taxpayers’ money) would purchase the problem loans from BTA Bank worth 2.4 trillion tenge ($7.5 billion). Note that this figure aligns with the amount of the credit line that Kenes Rakhishev essentially opened for himself. BTA Bank transfers this money to Kazkommertsbank as a repayment of the debt. Subsequently, Kenes Rakhishev was supposed to sell shares of Qazkom, which included BTA Bank, to Halyk Bank for a symbolic amount.<\/p>\n

Timur Kulibayev, the son-in-law of President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, is the ultimate controlling shareholder of Halyk Bank through controlled structures. Detractors claim that Kulibayev and Rakhishev have such strong friendly relations that it’s risky to publicly discuss all the details of their friendship due to potential legal action.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to recent news, the “Rakhishev scheme” has come full circle.<\/p>\n
