Kazakhstan Dept: One is a fugitive accused of stealing $20 million from Kazakhstan's state-owned nuclear company Kazatomprom, misrepresenting himself to get into Canada and concealing his purchased St. Kitts and Nevis passport, argued the Canada Border Services Agency's counsel Andrej Rustja, according to The Star. Tursunbayev was arrested Feb. 10 after CBSA learned there was an Interpol red notice issued by Kazakhstan accusing him of organized crime. He was ordered to remain in custody at his Feb. 13 detention review because of valid concerns he might flee. He has since suffered heart problems and it seemed as though there were two people on trial at alleged embezzler and Kazakhstan native Rustem Tursunbayev's detention review Friday. The other is a political victim of a corrupt society whose only crime is being a wealthy businessman, countered defence lawyer Lorne Waldman.
