Nyamathira Njoroge loses Sh102m

Felista Nyamathira Njoroge, a college student, received a Ksh. 102 million gift from her Belgian boyfriend, which has been ordered to be returned to the government by the High Court.

In her decision, Judge Esther Maina determined that the funds kept in Ms. Nyamathira’s two bank accounts represent the proceeds of crime.

According to her, billionaire Marc De Mesel neglected to explain where he got the money from and failed to provide proof of his source of income.

The Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) was given permission by the court in November 2021 to freeze the enigmatic Ksh. 102 million that was wired to the university student in August.

According to Justice Maina, the state was profiting from the money the foreign crypto-personality sent into the nation covertly in the absence of an explanation.

The evidence presented in court by the state and the two lovers revealed that there was apparent money laundering, Maina said while approving the Asset Recovery Agency’s (ARA) request to declare the funds as proceeds of crime.

Judge Maina declared: “I have examined and analyzed the information put up by the boyfriend, and it did not reveal the source of the cash that were given to the Kenyan girlfriend.

She continued by saying that in the absence of disclosure of the source of the monies, money laundering is the most likely explanation.

She said that as a result, the court is powerless to refuse to order that the funds in the two bank accounts be turned over to the state.

When Nyamathira disclosed that DCI officers had seized a financial gift intended to her by a Belgian boyfriend, she made news in 2021.

The woman claimed that the State Criminal Investigation Department had mistreated her by denying her access to the Sh102 million that had been sent to her for personal use.
