MASTER DOSSIER: FARMAKTIV LLP AND FERNAND ZOGHBY CASE
Prepared by the ARGA Observatory, this master dossier provides a comprehensive analysis of the criminal prosecution against Fernand Zoghby, the director and owner of the Kazakh pharmaceutical company FARMAKTIV LLP. The document outlines key events starting from his detention by the National Security Committee in March 2025, documenting significant procedural violations, the denial of Lebanese consular access, and the prolonged nature of his pre-trial detention. It situates the case within a broader context of pressure on foreign investors in Kazakhstan and serves as a formal evidentiary base for international protection frameworks and submissions to human rights monitoring bodies.
