Rakhat Aliev, President Nazarbayev’s son-in-law, has been living in Vienna, Austria since 2007 after a public split with Nazarbayev. Ever since, he has been denigrating the Kazakh leadership. He has finally put it all in a book, published in German and Russian, called The Godfather-in-Law. It is available in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
The book details how President Nazarbayev has been extorting billions of dollars from state coffers and apparently, “enslaved his country”. The picture on the cover only resembles Nazarbayev. Aliev has been tried, convicted and sentenced in absentia. He was given 40 years for extortion, kidnapping, and murder.
