A major public corruption trial involving 15 defendants began at the Federal High Court's Lideta Division on May 9, 2026, over the alleged diversion of 3.8 million litres of fuel.

The hearing at the courtroom on Dejazmach Bekele Weya Street started more than an hour late. Judges stayed in their offices while police stood alert in a narrow and crowded space filled with waiting families.

The case focuses on claims that officials and businesspeople diverted fuel from the official supply chain. Prosecutors brought 15 people to face charges in the Federal High Court.

The proceedings mark the opening of one of the government's largest public corruption trials in recent months. No further details on the hearing's outcome were available at the time.
