Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have seized consignment concealing over Sh60 million in fake US dollar currency destined for Muscat in Oman.
This is from a money laundering syndicate that has been under investigation.
According to a statement issued by DCI on Friday September 10, 2021, the 460 US dollar notes in denominations of 100 seized on Thursday evening were packaged in 12 bundles, which were declared as marketing flyers for a non-existing African Global Food Supplies.
Acting on a report from Express Kenya security manager, police rushed to the transport logistics facility located at Lusaka Rd within Industrial Area, seizing the consignment bound to Muscat International Hotel in Oman.
Investigations by our detectives has so far established that the consignor, one Belmont Joseph, is a member of a larger suspected criminal syndicate operating from Kajiado’s Ngong area.
Meanwhile, Interpol’s intervention has been sought to facilitate the arrest of the Oman-based consignee – Hamood Abdullah Hamood – as manhunt for the local suspect and his gang intensifies.
