The Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) has announced that the alleged mastermind behind a multi-trillion dollar fraud, Isaiah Aluodo Belek, was apprehended at his hideout in Gigiri, Nairobi, by Operations Support detectives.
According to the office of the Kenyan detectives, Belek, suspected of orchestrating the fraudulent activities and authoring communications with complainants, was flushed out along with eight other accused persons.
The group, facing charges including conspiracy to defraud, possession of forged bank notes, and possessing police uniforms, was arraigned at Milimani Law Courts on the preceding day.
While all accused parties pleaded not guilty, they sought release on bond. The prosecution objected to this request, and the final determination is set to be made on November 21.
As of now, Isaiah Aluodo remains in police custody, undergoing processing for arraignment scheduled for Monday.
Also, his Mercedes Benz, believed to be a product of the fraudulent scheme, has been impounded.
