On Monday, an American national was arraigned at Milimani Law Court and charged with obtaining Ksh 163 million by pretense that he would supply gold.
Sergio Patrick Antonucci, who appeared before Milimani magistrate Susan Shitubi, pleaded not guilty to two counts and was released on a bond of ten million with one contact person.
With the prosecution not opposing bond or cash bail, his lawyers, led by Conrad Maloba, said they would abide by the court’s bond and bail terms.
