14.8.1. Protection

A Relevant Person must ensure that it does not prejudice a person who discloses any information on behalf of the Relevant Person regarding money laundering to the AFSA or to any other relevant body involved in the prevention of money laundering.

A Relevant Person and a person, who submits a STR on behalf of the Relevant Person, are not subject to any civil liability or criminal prosecution under the Kazakhstan law resulting from the submission of the STR, even if they did not know precisely what the criminal activity was, and regardless of whether illegal activity actually occurred.
