DCI detectives from Kasarani Sub-County have been granted a 30-day custodial order by the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Makadara to continue holding Pascaline Peter, the primary suspect in a multi-million-shilling fraud case involving a shylock and real estate scam.
Pascaline is accused of orchestrating a scheme that has defrauded over 300 Kenyans, leading to significant financial losses. The fraud, which involved offering fake loan services and fraudulent real estate deals, has seen many victims lose their hard-earned money. Detectives have already recorded statements from over 60 victims, and the number of complainants is expected to increase significantly as the investigation progresses.
During the extended detention, detectives will focus on gathering more evidence to build a strong case against Pascaline. This includes tracing the financial transactions involved in the scam and interviewing more victims. The goal is to ensure that a solid case is presented in court, guaranteeing justice for all those affected by the fraudulent activities.
The extension of Pascaline’s detention highlights the seriousness of the case and the complexities involved in unraveling the details of the widespread scam. Authorities are urging any additional victims to come forward and provide information to aid in the investigation. Meanwhile, the detectives are determined to ensure that the suspect is held accountable and that the victims receive restitution for their losses.
