Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations flew to Dubai on Monday night to record a statement from the representative of the United Arab Emirates' ruler about the Sh400 million gold scam. The investigators will interrogate Ali Zandi, a representative of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Zandi also represents the Zlivia Company, a gold trading company based in Dubai. Maktoum complained to President Uhuru Kenyatta that his gold had been seized and detained at JKIA for months on its way to Dubai from DR Congo. Once they have the statement from Zandi, the police will summon those mentioned to record their own statements before charges are drawn up and possible arrests made.
