A consignment of Sh60 Million in fake US dollar currency destined for Muscat in Oman seized by detectives.
The stash was suspected to be from a money laundering syndicate under investigation.
460 US dollar notes in denominations of 100 were found 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.
