In addition, the investigator in charge of the case told the businessman that “Russia will not help you, you were thrown here like a piece of meat” and “the Russians in Kazakhstan do not decide anything.” “I was sure that our peoples are brotherly.

Viktor Balashov, who worked in Kazakhstan as a top manager of the largest Russian clothing manufacturer Vostok-Service, turned out to be a victim of business -scandal between the management of the company represented by Dmitry Golovnev and local partner Nursultan Shokanov. In September, the Kazakh authorities placed the Russian in a pre-trial detention center, and during the last court hearing, the prosecutor's office requested 11 years in prison for him.
According to Balashov's mother, the defense was able to fully prove the fabrication of the criminal case against her son, but the chances of winning are very small. At the same time, she pointed out that Viktor is constantly being pressured by the investigation and by Shokanov himself, who allegedly belongs to the clan of the first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev.
