A Nairobi businessman was charged with conspiracy to defraud a Malawian national by fraudulently claiming to be able to ship products from Belgrade to Malawi.

Between April 5th and April 25th of last year, it is alleged that Peter Mutunga Kimile and others not present in court conspired to defraud Thomas Burton Coleman (director of Trans Global Services) of USD 445 by falsely claiming that he would convey the goods.

It is claimed that he put the money in his account and concealed it despite having reasonable grounds to think that the funds were the proceeds of crime.

According to the complaint, Peter Mutunga Kamile, Director of Africa Avisol Logistics, committed to carrying military equipment from Belgrade to Malawi for a charge of USD 445,000, which was put into his I&M bank account in April 2022.

Peter, on the other hand, informed the complainant that he owned a jet that he would use to transfer the merchandise. After the agreed-upon length had elapsed, he revealed the flight's insurance and fuel complications.

Furthermore, the accused is said to have shut off communication with the complainant, causing the complainant to report the issue to DCI headquarters.
