President of Kazakhstan’s Aquatics Federation arrested on suspicion of corruption
As recently as October, Nurlan Zhakupov sat alongside World Aquatics president Husain Al-Musallam as a guest of the autocratic ruler Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. Now Zhakupov is in custody. The sovereign wealth fund he heads, Samruk-Kazyna, is an important tool of Kazakh sports policy.
