Stolen Vehicle Recovered from City Street
In Kazakhstan, harsh measures are taken against alimony debtors and debtors with financial organization debts, including seizing property and vehicles. This approach has proven effective, as shown in several cities across the country.
In Karaganda, 5 vehicles were seized from debtors for financial organization debts and administrative fines, resulting in over 74 million tenge being collected. Similarly, in Shymkent, 36 vehicles registered to alimony debtors were ordered to be seized and towed, helping collect over 74 million tenge. In five cases, after the vehicles were seized, debts totaling over 7 million tenge were fully paid off in both Karaganda and Shymkent.
However, the frequency or commonality of vehicle seizure for alimony arrears in Kazakhstan’s cities remains unclear from available data. The total alimony debt amount in Kazakhstan reached 16 billion tenge in 2024, according to the Ministry of Justice, highlighting the ongoing need for effective enforcement mechanisms.
It's worth noting that previously, the sum of alimony debts in Almaty exceeded 1.5 billion tenge. The debt amounts for the seized vehicles in Karaganda ranged from 58 thousand to 12 million tenge, indicating a wide spectrum of cases.
The city prosecutor's office in Karaganda was involved in the seizure of the vehicles, demonstrating the collaboration between law enforcement agencies in enforcing debt repayment.
While precise statistics or practices may require access to Kazakh legal enforcement records or reports by local authorities, it's clear that vehicle seizures can play a significant role in debt recovery. For those facing alimony or financial debts, it's essential to prioritize repayment to avoid such drastic measures.
