The top chief registrar of the Judiciary, Ms Anne Amadi becomes the latest top government employee to have her bank accounts frozen by the High Court.
The Judiciary boss is linked to an international gold scam syndicate giving prominent business people across the world sleepless nights for defrauding them millions of money with fake gold deals.
The High Court in Nairobi ordered that personal bank accounts in the names of the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Anne Atieno Amadi, her son Brian Ochieng Amadi, and two others be frozen and that no withdrawals be made without approval.
This comes after Ms. Amadi, her son Brian, and others were sued by a Dubai-based gold company.
In the petition, Bruton Gold Trading LLC claims that the suspects, acting on behalf of the law firm Amadi and Associates Advocates, illegally obtained over Ksh.89 million for gold that they never supplied.
In the law suit, Bruton claims Judiciary Registrar was linked to the syndicate after investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) revealed that she is the registered proprietor of Amadi and Associates Advocates.
Further, they alleged that the investigations confirmed that the account where the money was deposited was also opened by Ms. Amadi after joining the Judiciary.
They also claim that the funds received by the firm were withdrawn in cash by Ms. Amadi’s son and two others without adequate documentation as required by the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act.
