The Anti-Corruption Court and police have arraigned two suspects before the Kampala Capital City Authority Chief Magistrates Court for fraud.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, the accused have been charged with obtaining money by false pretence and conspiracy to commit a felony.
“The suspects are James Jeff Mugisha and Godfrey Maviri, who are accused of obtaining money under false pretence,” State House Anti-Corruption stated.
It is alleged that between August and November 2021, a Korean investor, Hyun UK Kim, was defrauded of over USD 300,000 in kilogrammes of gold in Kampala.
The Anti-Corruption Unit noted that Mugisha, who knew the alleged gold seller who is still at large, introduced the investor to the deal.
They further revealed that during all interactions, Maviri was always in the company of the gold seller.
AntiGraft-SH said investigations into the matter are still ongoing.
