A complainant testifying virtually from Italy recounted to a Nairobi court how he lost over Ksh.150 million in a deceptive gold deal, involving a purported 150-kilogram consignment. The victim, Dr. Satninder Singh, was duped into making multiple payments for alleged taxes and fees, only to discover the documents and individuals involved were fraudulent.

• Total amount allegedly stolen from Asianic Ltd. by the accused is €2,168,238.91 (about KSh341.9 million) and USD 14,112 (about Ksh.2 million).
• Key persons accused are Frank David Kateti, Alain Mwadia Nvita Lukusa, and Daniel Oteno Ogot, charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.
• The complainant was introduced to a woman identified as Susan Oketch, allegedly a senior customs officer at Forodha House, who verified the false information and documents; she was later discovered not to be Oketch.
