On March 18, 2019, businessman Mohan Galot appeared before a Nairobi court, as seen in this photo.
Galot, the Director of London Distillers Kenya Limited, has been charged with 18 counts of tax-related offenses, including failure to pay tax, which he allegedly committed between 2015 and 2019.
He faces nine counts of omitting production volume and amount from tax returns and nine counts of failure to pay tax.
Galot denied the charges before Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku and was granted a cash bail of Sh 1 million.
According to allegations, a probe into London Distillers (K) Limited found that the firm and its director devised a scheme to evade taxes, including Excise duty on locally manufactured spirits, VAT, and Corporation taxes.
