Detectives Arrest Three 'Wash Wash' Suspects in a Kileleshwa Apartment

Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have arrested three money-laundering suspects in Nairobi.

Abdulaziz Ibrahim Hassan, (54), Dorcas Ntoya (34), and Arum Bob Busimbi (26) were arrested on Thursday after sleuths from DCI’s Transnational Organized Crime unit raided an apartment in Kileleshwa.

During the operation at Midea Apartment’s house number 10, detectives seized assorted fake local and foreign currencies.

The suspects are believed to be part of a syndicate responsible for the increased cases of money laundering in the country, commonly known as ‘wash wash’.

Several counterfeit American dollar notes in denominations of 100 and a machine believed to be used in printing the fake notes were found in the house.

The search was extended to the basement parking where officers recovered three copies of a fake letter purportedly from the Central Bank of Kenya notifying receipt of Sh10 billion, and two copies of United Nation invoices in a Honda Fit KCY 695X.

Also found in the car owned by one of the suspects was a forged anti-money laundering clearance certificate, a packet of white powder labeled ‘Best Quality Laundry Starch’, a bottle containing a bluish substance, 45 UD dollar notes in 100 denominations, and 166 notes of Kenyan currency in Sh1,000 denominations.

The apartment’s caretaker 54-year-old Ethan Mureithi, who obstructed the detectives from conducting the operation within the facility, was also arrested.

The four suspects are in custody pending arraignment in court.

  1. Wash wash is a money…
    Wash wash is a money laundering group that was created by DP Ruto to print and exchange fake money through laundering to other neighboring country! They also work closely with terrorists at the instructions of DP Ruto. Wash wash provided Ruto the 15 billion shillings which he loaned the Turkish terrorist a while back!

  2. This said lady, Dorcas Ntoya…
    This said lady, Dorcas Ntoya has been dating cameroonians and helping them to swindle Kenyansof their hard earn money. She is a shameless person who has even been rejected by her family. The problem is that she will soon be release to go back to her same job of swindling. The cartel is a huge one led by a Cameroonian called Harisson, who is the current owner of Dolce night club in Nairobi CBD. If you have ever been conned by a Cameroonian in Kenya, the probability of locating them at the Dolce club is almost 100%.
