Thirty-one suspects arrested over their alleged involvement in a Ksh. 5 million gold scam were arraigned on Thursday and released on a Kes 1.5 million cash bail or a Kes 3 million bond each.
The suspects, arrested in an operation in Nairobi’s Runda estate on Tuesday, appeared at the Milimani Law Courts, where they were charged with defrauding two Dubai-based businessmen.
In a statement, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) revealed they were charged with three counts: conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money by false pretense, and possession of papers intended to pass as genuine currency notes.
“For Count 1 & Count 3 - Each accused person admitted to a bond of Ksh.100,000, alternatively a cash bail of Kes 50,000.”
“For Count 2 - Each accused person admitted to a bond of Ksh.3 million, alternatively a cash bail of Kes 1.5 million.”
