During the investigative actions, the chief editor of "Orda," the editor-in-chief of the Almaty branch, as well as the news editor and accountant were taken for questioning. Mobile phones were confiscated from the employees.
The Almaty Police Department confirmed that criminal cases have been initiated regarding the dissemination of false information.
