Kampala — The State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working jointly with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has charged Mukundane Robert, a director of Bsafe Security Systems, with multiple offences related to fraud and forgery.
Mukundane appeared before the Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court, where he was charged with obtaining money by false pretence, forgery, uttering false documents, and conspiracy to commit a felony.
According to investigators, between March and July 2025, Mukundane and others still at large allegedly defrauded Kenyan businessman Muruiki Haron Gatiji of USD 49,500. The group reportedly claimed the money was required to facilitate the export of 200 kilograms of gold from Kampala to Dubai.
Authorities say the accused convinced the investor that the funds would cover documentation and clearing fees for the supposed gold consignment. However, after receiving the payment, the suspects allegedly failed to deliver the gold and cut off all communication with the investor.
The State House Anti-Corruption Unit emphasized its continued commitment to working with other government agencies to curb financial fraud and protect investors from such schemes.
Mukundane remains in custody as investigations continue, while efforts to apprehend his accomplices are underway.
