Yelena D., a deputy branch manager at a bank in the Kazakh city of Aktau, disappeared in 2009 after approving a $200,000 loan for a client to purchase a home. Bank officials initially contacted the police, fearing that Yelena D. might have been kidnapped or fallen victim to an accident. However, an investigation revealed that she had embezzled the money.
Unable to locate Yelena D., Kazakh authorities suspected she might have fled the country and requested an Interpol Red Notice.
Kazakh police finally tracked Yelena D. to Antalya after 15 years. Yelena D. had established a new life for herself. Turkish authorities were immediately contacted. Yelena D. was taken into custody in Antalya. Upon Kazakhstan's request, she was deported and was arrested and sent to prison upon her return to her home country.
