Olympic boxing champion Daniyar Yeleussinov has been arrested and stripped of his license after causing multiple traffic accidents while driving under the influence of alcohol in Astana. The court documented that Yeleussinov's actions led to three separate collisions. The incidents included hitting a gate support in an underground parking garage, striking another vehicle that then caused a chain reaction with a third car, and finally colliding with a Kia Sportage, pushing it into a Toyota Hilux. These accidents resulted in significant mechanical damage to the vehicles involved. The court's decision was based on comprehensive evidence, including a medical report confirming mild alcohol intoxication, administrative protocols, accident diagrams, video footage, and witness statements. Yeleussinov fully admitted his guilt during the court proceedings. Consequently, the court imposed a mandatory sentence of 20 days of administrative arrest and a seven-year suspension of his driving privileges, as stipulated by Part 3 of Article 608 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The court found no circumstances that would preclude the administrative arrest. The court's orders have not yet entered into legal force.
