UK pursues Sh219m fraud convict linked to Nairobi
Southwark Crown Court in London. Pritesh Ashok Shah, a former bank employee, used forged documents, fake Credit Suisse wealth statements, and "trust networks" to secure massive loans from elite financiers that he never intended to repay.
British authorities have issued an arrest warrant for convicted fraudster Pritesh Ashok Shah, believed to be living in Nairobi, after a court in the United Kingdom found he orchestrated a $1.7 million (Sh219.3 million) deception spanning London’s elite finance circles.
Court records show Mr Shah, a former Credit Suisse and Ambata Capital employee, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court in November 2025 on multiple counts of fraud, forgery and perverting the course of justice. He did not attend his trial or sentencing, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
