schema:articleBody	Kazakh opposition leader Moukhtar Abliazov, who has political asylum in France, was charged Wednesday in Paris with embezzling $7.5 billion in a case brought by Kazakhstan, one of his lawyers said. His lawyer Gerard Cholakian said Abliazov was charged with "aggravated abuse of trust" and "money laundering" before he was released under judicial oversight. "The Paris prosecutor's office picked up a complaint from Kazakhstan that it could have refused to take into consideration and foolishly raised it with a French examining magistrate," the lawyer said. "Kazakhstan will never let go of me until my death. It struck a blow against me, but it makes me want to go faster to attack the regime," Abliazov, 57, told AFP when questioned on Monday and taken before an examining magistrate following two days of detention. The Kazakh government filed a complaint in Paris in 2017 against the former oligarch and accused him of having embezzled more than $7.5 billion from Kazakh bank BTA, where he served as CEO before its nationalisation in 2009. He allegedly granted loans without guarantees to front companies that he benefitted from. In 2016, French authorities rejected a request for his extradition on the grounds it was politically motivated. Abliazov is a political enemy of President Nursultan Nazerbayev, the strongman who has been in power for three decades. He fled Kazakhstan for England then France in 2013, where he was arrested. In order to file suit, the Kazakh authorities acted on a French legal provision that allows a court to try a foreigner whose extradition has been rejected for political reasons, for a crime or offence committed outside France. In 2017, the opposition figure was sentenced by a Kazakh court in his absence to 20 years in prison in this embezzlement case. He was also convicted of having ordered the murder of a business associate in 2004, after an initial inquiry concluded he died in a hunting accident. French authorities granted him the status of political refugee on September 29, saying the accusations against Abliazov had a political motive. mk-lc/tgb
