Thursday, May 14, 2026 - Detectives have arrested three suspects linked to a sophisticated fraud syndicate that siphoned Sh 5,226,735 from the Public Trustee Administration Estates Account under the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice.
Investigations revealed that the money was illegally wired
through two fraudulent transactions of Sh 2,413,896 and Sh 2,813,989 into
personal bank accounts.
The scam, executed through forged documents and fraudulent
account details, triggered investigations by detectives, who pieced together
the money trail and identified seven suspects behind the scheme.
Upon conclusion of investigations, the case file was
forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), which
approved charges against the seven suspects connected to the fraud.
The suspects are set to face multiple charges, including
Conspiracy to Defraud, Stealing, Forgery and Acquisition of Proceeds of Crime.
Yesterday, May 13th, 2026, detectives arrested
three suspects: Geoffrey Kipkemoi Langat, Patrick Ngandu Nderitu and Timothy
Kipchumba Cheboi in connection with the fraud.
The three are currently undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment in court today, as detectives tighten the noose on four other suspects who remain on the run.
