A 28-year-old Kenyan man has been indicted in the United States for international money laundering of COVID-19 relief funds, allegedly channeling the illicit proceeds into construction projects in Nairobi.

• Over Ksh5.16 billion ($40 million) was allegedly misappropriated from a program meant to feed vulnerable children.
• The suspect's brother, the leader of the "Empire" group, was recently sentenced to 28 years in prison for orchestrating a scheme that syphoned at least $42 million (Ksh5.4 billion).
