Carl James Esprey, the Italian whose earlier venture in Kenya Atlas African Industries disappeared with more than Sh450 million of investors’ money, is back in business with a new company seeking to export medical marijuana from African countries, including Zimbabwe and Lesotho.
Mr Esprey, who partnered with Kojo Annan (son of former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan) earlier this year to launch African Cannabis, is following the same script that left thousands of investors in Atlas out of pocket.
