businessman Yagnesh Devani
Barely less than a week after a Nairobi court acquitted corrupt businessman Yagnesh Devani, more details of how money exchanged hands have emerged.
According to close sources with the office of the Dpp, Devani parted with millions to a senior prosecutor who directed that his case be dropped.
” Yes it’s not that easy, we have our seniors who took Millions after receiving instructions from above to help him get freedom,” said a source aware of the matter.
The proceeds of crime from Devani which counts in millions secured his freedom as the complainant continues to cry foul.
The court withdrew the case after the instructed DPP applied to withdraw after Devani alledgly complied with what he was instructed to do.

Last week, the court in its ruling said that there’s no reason not to allow the application adding that no witness had testified in the matter.
“I find no reason to reject the application to withdraw this case. I hereby allow that applicants and proceed to discharge the accused person…. It is ordered accordingly,” the court ruled.
In the matter, Devani was charged with charged with fraud in the 2008 Triton oil scandal
He was on the run for the past decade and was arrested in August this year following a warrant of arrest that had been issued by the courts in 2009.
When he was charged the prosecution applied to have Devani denied bail saying that he was a flight risk.
However, early this month the DPP applied to have Devani acquitted on grounds that some of the witnesses in the case had died.
