Professor aposentado perde 7,5 milhões de xelins quenianos em golpe do ouro em Meru

Um professor aposentado de 61 anos no condado de Meru perdeu 7.595.309 xelins quenianos para golpistas que prometiam retornos sobre investimentos em ouro entre fevereiro e abril.

A vítima, um ex-funcionário da Teachers Service Commission, fez várias transferências bancárias e pagamentos via dinheiro móvel após ser abordada com o que parecia ser um negócio legítimo de ouro. Detetives da Diretoria de Investigações Criminais em Imenti North rastrearam e prenderam o principal suspeito na área de Gakurine, no condado de Meru. Os oficiais apreenderam um Volkswagen Passat cinza que acredita-se ter sido comprado com o dinheiro do crime. O suspeito está sob custódia aguardando a apresentação ao tribunal, enquanto as buscas por seus cúmplices continuam. A DCI alertou o público sobre golpes cada vez mais sofisticados que visam quenianos com promessas de altos retornos em investimentos em ouro. Casos semelhantes relatados este ano incluem um cidadão americano que perdeu 55,7 milhões de xelins quenianos e um empresário australiano que perdeu mais de 77 milhões de xelins quenianos em fraudes relacionadas ao ouro.
