On September 28, 2026, the Department of international law organized a guest lecture for students of the educational programs “6B04201 – Jurisprudence” and “6B04202 – International Law.” The lecture was featured by Khamit Mynzhasarovich Mukhtarov, Assistant Prosecutor of Almaty, Department of Pre-Trial Investigation of the Almaty City Prosecutor’s Office, Junior Justice Counselor.
During the lecture, Khamit Mynzhasarovich provided students with a detailed overview of the role of the prosecutor at the pre-trial investigation stage, the specific features of prosecutorial oversight, and the importance of the prosecutor’s office in ensuring legality and protecting the rights of participants in criminal proceedings. Particular attention was given to the pressing issue of dropper activity.
The students were introduced to the concept of dropper activity, including the ways in which third parties’ bank accounts and payment instruments may be used in unlawful schemes, as well as the criminal and other forms of liability that may arise under the law for participation in such activities. The speaker emphasized the importance of exercising caution when providing bank cards, banking details, or access to bank accounts to third parties.
An important part of the lecture was a discussion of a practical criminal case involving the smuggling of narcotic drugs from the United States into Kazakhstan.
Using this case as a practical example, Khamit Mynzhasarovich demonstrated the specific features of investigating criminal offenses related to the illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs and explained the role of law enforcement agencies at various stages of the investigation.
Such guest lectures enable students to connect theoretical knowledge gained during their studies with real-world law enforcement practice, broaden their understanding of the work of the prosecutor’s office, develop practical case-analysis skills, and acquire professional competencies essential for future legal practitioners.
Throughout the meeting, students actively participated in the discussion, asked questions, and had the opportunity to gain first-hand insights from an experienced practitioner into the investigation of criminal cases and the day-to-day work of prosecutorial authorities.
The guest lecture was conducted in the format of an open professional dialogue and generated considerable interest among the students. Meetings of this kind with representatives of law enforcement agencies are an important component of practice-oriented legal education, contributing to the professional development of future specialists in the fields of jurisprudence and international law.
