For his contribution to solving a serious robbery case, Suleimenov was extolled in an article published in an influential Moscow newspaper, and the prosecutor of Alma-Ata invited him to work in Kazakhstan. Suleimenov later transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.[6] He had risen to the position of the First Deputy to the Minister of Internal Affairs by the time Kazakhstan gained its independence.[7]
