Detectives are investigating three bank accounts belonging to a payment solution firm as the fight for billions that had initially been frozen over suspicion of an international card fraud syndicate escalates.
Mr Maxwel Otieno, an officer at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, sought orders from a Nairobi court in December to investigate the bank accounts at Ecobank Kenya Ltd following complaints by four foreign firms, which are seeking $5.82 million (Sh811 million), from the billions belonging to Kiwipay (K) Ltd.
