The ANPZ commented on rumors regarding the criminal prosecution of its CEO.

According to the official Instagram account of LLP "ANPZ", the information regarding an alleged criminal investigation against the head of LLP "Atyrau Oil Refinery" Galymzhan Zhusanbaev is false and entirely unfounded.

"At this time, LLP "ANPZ" and its management have not received any official notifications or requests from law enforcement agencies. The information about an alleged investigation is merely speculation aimed at undermining the reputation of the plant and its employees," - clarified the company's press service.

LLP "ANPZ" has urged all media representatives and publication authors to refrain from disseminating unreliable and unverified information.

"Such actions not only mislead the public but also cause significant harm to the business reputation of the enterprise and the well-being of its employees. In the event of further dissemination of false information, LLP "ANPZ" reserves the right to contact the relevant authorities to protect its legitimate interests, potentially leading to the prosecution of those spreading defamatory information," - noted the company's press service.

The statement emphasizes that LLP "ANPZ" continues its operations as usual, diligently fulfilling production tasks and strictly adhering to the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Recall that in February 2024, the chief engineer of ANPZ, Adilet Shoshanbasov, recorded a video address accusing the general director Galymzhan Zhusanbaev of creating a disturbing environment at the enterprise, using inappropriate language, and potential financial embezzlement by the management.

In parallel, a petition text appeared online calling for the dismissal of Galymzhan Zhusanbaev from the position of general director of LLP "ANPZ". It was noted that around 500 employees of the plant signed it. In response, Zhusanbaev recorded his own video address.

Due to numerous appeals on social media, a working group was formed to conduct an investigation at the enterprise.

Later, representatives of "KazMunayGas" announced the dismissal of the general director of the Atyrau Oil Refinery, Galymzhan Zhusanbaev, and the chief engineer of the enterprise, Adilet Shoshanbasov.

In Astana, a court reviewed Galymzhan Zhusanbaev's lawsuit against LLP "ANPZ". It was established that the employment contract was terminated in violation of the dismissal procedure. The plaintiff was reinstated in his position.

Galymzhan Zhusanbaev returned to the position of general director of LLP "Atyrau Oil Refinery" on July 1 of last year.

At the end of 2024, there were speculations about the potential departure of Galymzhan Zhusanbaev from the position of general director of ANPZ expressed by "KazMunayGas."
