Investigators from the National Intelligence Service are trying to piece together a case linking a senior judge to a counterfeit currency syndicate. The two were were arrested in Nairobi on Saturday night and found in possession of fake currency amounting to $523,900, Sh500,000 genuine Kenyan currency, a Taurus pistol belonging to Omar and several rounds of ammunition. If the judge was a victim, why was the matter allowed to go unreported, allowing the cartel to continue exploiting innocent Kenyans? The foreign currency is then used to lure the victim into giving money to cater for certificates of origin and taxes. In another case, Omar is said to have conned the wife of another judge out of Sh30 million.
