[Photo: Kelvin Karani/Standard]Relatives and a former employee of the late Tahir Sheikh Said (TSS) have been charged with stealing Sh9 billion. Detectives now believe the looting involved relatives and strangers who conspired to steal from the businessman over a period of four years. Zein and Zahir appeared before Mombasa Senior Principal Magistrate Francis Kyambia and denied forging documents purporting to have been sanctioned by the TSS. They were accused of using the documents to access a total of Sh9 billion from Kenya Commercial Bank. Aweys, who was charged before Mombasa Senior Principal Magistrate Martin Rabera, denied the charges but was not immediately released.
