In Almaty, the MIA Cybercrime Countermeasures Department detained a citizen of a neighboring country in a rented apartment.
- During the inspection of the premises, operatives found three sim-box devices. Each of them had 32 sim-card slots. About two thousand sim-cards of various mobile operators were also confiscated. Fraudulent calls were made to Kazakhstanis using the devices.

A criminal case has been initiated. The suspect was placed in a temporary detention center, - said Zhandos Suyunbai, head of the MIA Cybercrime Countermeasures Department.
