A protest letter drafted by the rulers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the government of Kenya was sent to Nairobi asking why the government was holding their gold consignment at Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The letter prompted the DCI to launch a fake gold export ring.
The protest letter was asking for the release of gold owned by a Mr. Ali Zandi who is said to have connections to the Saudi Royal family.The letter prompted a swift reaction by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations that saw a consignment of fake gold being seized Monday in Nairobi.
Roped in is Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula who is now under investigation in the Sh400 million gold scandal involving a faceless cartel that swindled the United Arab Emirates royal family.
The Ford Kenya party leader is said to be among six people being probed over the racket that is said to be at the center of the investigation of extortion of millions of shillings ostensibly to secure release of five tons of gold alleged to have been seized at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
The supposed seizure was allegedly the first tranche of a 23-tonne shipment of gold that was to be brought from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The suspects appeared in a Nairobi court to answer to charges of fraud
