Two suspects behind a sophisticated scheme to defraud Dubai nationals have been arrested after months on the run.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), specifically the elite Operation Support Unit (OSU), confirmed the arrest of the two suspects, believed to be the masterminds of the gold scam which saw a Dubai national lose USD 54,000 (around Ksh 8.5 million).
The case dates back to September 2024, when two Dubai investors reported to authorities that they had lost money to what initially appeared to be a legitimate gold trade deal.
The investors were reportedly lured by the two main suspects, a man and a woman, with the promise of purchasing 35 kilograms of gold.
