DCI nabbed three senior officials from Africa Spirits Ltd over tax evasion and unlicenced liquor.
The three were arrested in Thika town on February 1, 2019.
While conducting a raid in their premises, the detectives confiscated thousands of fake KRA stamps and cartons of unlicensed liquor.
“3 senior officials of Africa Spirits Ltd located within Thika town were arrested yesterday by detectives and charged today for tax evasion and other offenses. Thousands of fake @KRACorporate stamps & several cartons of various brands of unaccustomed alcoholics spirits were confiscated,” read a tweet from their official page.
The three officials were identified as Phrabhu Sethu (36), Kennedy Ng’ang’a Gitau (30), and Shadrack Mutinda Muinde (26).
They were later presented at the Thika Law Courts where DCI officials were allowed to hold the suspects to conduct more investigations.
The sleuths confirmed that they would continue investigating the matter in a bid to nab more suspects.
“Detectives investigating the case were granted custodial orders by the Thika Court. Investigations continue to nab all those involved,” the communication from Directorate concluded.
The arrests come days after six NTSA officials were arraigned in court over fake identification documents for a vehicle that was used by attackers to access the Dusit D2 Complex.
The officials were accused of aiding and abetting the Dusit D2 attackers.
