Earlier on Friday, State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU) led by Brig.Gen. Henry Isoke, in collaboration with Police’s CID, Entebbe Aviation Police and other Agencies swung into action and nabbed a serial fraudster who was allegedly in possession of 2 million United States Dollars at the time of his arrest.
Security, with the assistance of LC 1 leaders, searched a garage in Entebbe Municipality, where a consignment, suspected to have been smuggled from Entebbe International Airport, was being hidden.
Between May and October 2024, SHACU received a tip-off on a consignment that was suspiciously being held at the Airport. Since then, SHACU, together with other security agencies, have been monitoring the consignment, until 17th December, when the consignment was reportedly smuggled out of the Airport and hidden in a private home. But on Friday, the suspect run out of luck when SHACU investigations team was tipped off and traced the same in a motor vehicle garage in Entebbe, and accordingly swung into action.
Meanwhile, upon conducting a search, the joint Investigations team discovered 40 large and medium metallic boxes containing suspected counterfeit US dollars, amounting to $2m. In order to hoodwink their would-be targets, the fraudsters added soil in the boxes to exaggerate their weight.
Besides the fake currency, the team also recovered several bulky, well-wrapped boxes, falsely appearing to contain goods in transit, yet they had useless items, including empty crates of soda and beer.
So far, three suspects have been arrested, while efforts to apprehend others are ongoing. The Head of SHACU, Brig Gen Isoke, reiterated the Unit’s determination in coordination with other sister agencies to crack down on criminals who target innocent citizens and foreigners to extort from them colossal sums of money through fraudulent and fake transactions.
TheSpy Uganda recently reported about a fraud transaction ( Read it here: https://www.spyuganda.com/a-german-investor-conned-over-ugx3-7b-by-ministry-of-agriculture-in-fake-fertilizer-contract-deal-warns-uganda-could-be-blacklisted-internationally/ where a Germany businessman was fleeced over shs 4b in a fake fertilizer supply deal to the ministry of Agriculture by city lawyers, one of them attached to Gen Muhoozi’s PLU. In this fake transaction, the victim told our reporter that they brought him “a minister” and talked to him as a guarantee that the deal was genuine. Out of frustration, the Germany businessman opened up a case at CPS but it never saw light of the day. We await to see if Gen. Isoke will swing into action on this as well.
