The Milimani Magistrate Court has denied Abdulrahman Imran Juma alias Abdul Rahaman bail awaiting the hearing and determination of the Director of Public Prosecutions’ (DPP) extradition application against him.Â
The prosecution, through Catherine Mwaniki, Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, had objected to the fugitive’s request for bond or bail on the grounds that the charges against him are serious.
They further said that the fugitive had ties to other nations and that if he is proven guilty, he may face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
The fugitive is also suspected of possessing two passports, one of which is a fake.
The fugitive will stay in Gigiri Police Station police custody pending extradition proceedings, according to Chief Magistrate Micheni Wendy.
The Grand Jury for the United States District Court for the Central District of California has issued an arrest warrant for Abdulrahman Imran Juma on counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.
The fugitive is accused of being a member of a syndicate that planned a defrauding scheme with his co-conspirators, who are already facing charges in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On Friday, January 28, 2022, a pre-trial hearing will be held.
