Kazakhstan, 1991 to 2026. For thirty years a country of twenty million people was run by one president and his relatives and in-laws. This book follows the money the record can follow: oil fees an American indictment traced into Swiss accounts, a bank whose chairman was found in contempt in London and convicted in absentia at home, a former mayor's family sued in New York over Manhattan property, a security service whose chiefs ended up in the dock. Then January 2022 broke the circle, and a new government began taking fortunes back in closed courtrooms and secret settlements. Covers Mukhtar Ablyazov and BTA Bank, James Giffen and Mercator Corporation, Rakhat Aliyev and Nurbank, Kairat Satybaldy and Kazakhtelecom, Karim Massimov and the National Security Committee, and Viktor Khrapunov and Triadou.
