Social Sciences - Government / Politics | | Russian term or phrase: органами КНБ | Please read the whole question...
I would normally say "agency" for орган. However, in this case isn't the КНБ (the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan) itself the орган?
20 апреля с.г. органами КНБ Республики Казахстан передан представителям ФСБ России Кушагов Рамазан Исрапилович, 1964 г.р., уроженец ст. Аршты Сунженского района Чеченской Республики.
From a short article about an arrest for kidnapping.
Thanks. |

The use of "органы" in a context like this is, to me, a lot like when Russian text might say "контракт был подписан представительями фирмы Acme," where in English we'd often just say "Acme signed the contract" (instead of "representatives of Acme signed the contract").
Apropos of which, note the use of the word представителям when referring to the FSB. |
