116a. Regrets that the TAXE3 Committee did not have the time to devote more attention to specific cases of financial crime; draws attention, in this regard, to the case of the Kazakh oligarch Mukhtar Ablyazov, sentenced to life in prison in his country for murder and convicted of embezzling an estimated USD 7.5 billion in clients' deposits and pensions from Bank Turan Alem (BTA), of which he was chairman; notes, in this connection, that in the proceedings against him in the United Kingdom, where he first sought exile before fleeing to France, it was found that Mr Ablyazov made extensive use of opaque offshore structures to channel the embezzled funds as well as certain loans granted by EU credit institutions; notes that he was also able to operate under false identities, visibly and with the connivance of certain administrations; recalls that many building projects had to be stopped when the BTA financial support disappeared, as a direct result of the wrongdoing of Mr Ablyazov; notes that Mr Ablyazov has been convicted in the United Kingdom, France and Kazakhstan and is subject to an international arrest warrant issued by Ukraine and Russia; is surprised at the decision of the Council of State of 9 December 2016, given that all Mr Ablyazov’s cassation appeals had been systematically rejected up until 5 October 2016; calls on the authorities of the Member States concerned to implement the necessary legal remedies to ensure that the court decisions can be enforced and the sums recovered.
