In just 19 months, a Belgian national has wired more than Sh650 million to at least three Kenyan girlfriends and their families.
Detectives suspect the unusual generosity is part of a sophisticated money-laundering conspiracy.
In court papers, associates of the Belgian, Merc De Mesel, characterize him as a kind man who would not hesitate to shower millions on anyone.
De Mesel, on the other hand, is accused by the Assets Recovery Agency of being the architect of a complex money-laundering conspiracy involving individuals in other jurisdictions.
Marc De Mesel allegedly sent the money to Jane Wambui Kago, a sister of his baby mama Tebby Wambui Kago, according to reports.
The funds were discovered in two accounts, one with Sh3.1 million and the other with Sh45.6 million.
Tebby's accounts had previously been frozen after it was discovered that he had Sh108 million in his bank account.
Wangui, a salonist, explained that the Sh49 million was a gift to help her expand her Ruiru salon and clothing business.
She told the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) that she opened the Euro account in July so that she could collect De Mesel's payments.
