Three people in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa area have been arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) on suspicion of money laundering.
According to DCI, 54-year-old Abdulaziz Ibrahim Hassan, 34-year-old Dorcas Ntoya and 26-year-old Arum Bob Busimbi were on Friday arrested at Midea Apartments by the agency's Transnational Organized Crime Unit.
Reportedly, the three suspects are part of a gang that is behind the rising cases of money laundering in Nairobi.
Three copies of a fake letter purportedly from Central Bank of Kenya notifying receipt of Sh10 billion, two copies of United Nation invoices, a forged anti-money laundering clearance certificate and a packet of white powder labeled ‘Best Quality Laundry Starch’ were recovered by the sleuths.
Other items recovered include 166 notes of Kenyan currency in Sh1,000 denominations, 45 notes in USD100 denominations and bottle containing a bluish substance.
The officers also impounded one of the suspects' vehicle.
