Tuesday, January 31, 2023 –The Kenyan campus lady whose millions had been frozen by the Asset Recovery Agency ARA today Monday Tuesday January 31 got a reprieve after government accepted to open back her accounts worth sh 113 million.
In an exercise that took place at the Nairobi Milimani anti-corruption Court, the ARA using lawyer Mohamed Adow requested that the money be refunded to the girl since there was no enough evidence to accuse her of money laundering.
Tebby Wambuku’s accounts had been frozen when it was realized that a Belgian national by the name Marc De Masel had been wiring millions into her local bank accounts for unknown reasons.
Asked by detectives to explain why such colossal amounts were being wired to the accounts of the Kenyan lady, Masel simply said through a recorded video that he was supporting ‘with a small token’ the girl who is mother to his child.
Lawyer Adow from the Asset Recovery side explained to the courts that it was not possible to nail those involved in the transactions however suspicious this was.
“The investigations into the case found no sufficient evidence to sustain the forfeiture proceedings. We have consent signed by both parties to have the matter withdrawn,” Adow noted.
In an immediate response to the request, the presiding judge looked into the consent form tabled and quickly granted the plea by the lawyer; and the case was officially declared closed.
