Altynbek Sarsenbaev ((カザフ語:Алтынбек Сәрсенбаев); or Алтынбек Сәрсенбайұлы; 1962 - February 13, 2006) served in the Government of Kazakhstan before becoming a political opposition leader. At the time of his death, he served as co-chairman of the opposition ''Naghyz Ak Zhol'' (True Bright Path) party. In 2003, after a long career in senior Kazakh government positions, including Mayor of Almaty, Information Minister and Kazakhstani ambassador to Russia, Sarsenbayuly joined the opposition ranks in protest against what he regarded as the administration's authoritarian policies. Soon after his decision to contest the December 2005 Kazakhstan presidential elections, Sarsenbayuly faced government intimidation tactics, including a physical assault by unidentified individuals during a presidential campaign meeting with voters and the alleged beating of his two nephews in November 2005. ==Murder and investigation== On 13 February 2006 the bodies of Sarsenbaev, his bodyguard and his driver were found dead on a road near the city of Almaty, reportedly lying face-down, hands tied on their back, and shot in the head at point blank range. On 22 February 2006 five officers of Kazakhstan's KNB security service, and specifically the elite Arystan combat division, were arrested for involvement in Sarsenbaev's murder. According to Interior Minister Baurzhan Mukhamedzhanov the five men were paid $25,000 for committing the murder. Nartay Dutbayev, the chief national security officer in the government, resigned on 23 February, the day after his subordinates were arrested.〔(Top Kazakh Aide Quits in Crisis After Killing of Opposition Figure ) New York Times〕 Police arrested a sixth man, a former law enforcement officer, as a suspect for organizing the operation. The completion of the investigation in December 2013 was marked by a press conference with the Deputy Procurator General of Kazakhstan and the ranking American diplomat in Kazakhstan, Ambassador John Ordway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kazakhstan.usembassy.gov/pr-12-20-13.html )〕 Ordway praised the "exceptional cooperation" between Kazakhstani law enforcement and the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, and that the FBI's results were consistent with the findings of the Kazakhstani Procurator General. Ordway emphasized that the FBI's investigation was independent from the Procurator General's office, and the FBI had full and immediate access all materials and information. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Altynbek Sarsenbayuly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
