On July 15, 2019, a foreigner who was allegedly duped out of Ksh.150 million by Kenyans pleaded with the courts to order police to release his travel and identification documents.
The man, Ryskulov Damir, a Kazakhstani businessman, claimed that his passport was confiscated by detectives during an investigation into his complaint.
According to Damir, he and his brother Yerlan Baimoldin entered into a business agreement with some Kenyans who promised to export Kenyan tea, coffee, and artifacts to them.
However, the businessmen soon discovered that they had been defrauded of Ksh.150 million, which was banked into the suspects' various accounts.
Damir's application was presented before Milimani Magistrate Kenneth Cheruiyot.
