Cards case held back by lack of interpreters

A magistrate's court needs the intervention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get two translators in credit card fraud case. The case involves five foreigners against the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit. Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Grace Nzioka deferred plea taking against the five to tomorrow because of the interpreters’ hitch. The court heard efforts to get a Bulgarian and a Macedonian interpreter had failed. The suspects – four Bulgarians and a Macedonian – will be remanded at Kileleshwa Police Station. They are accused of making 10 master cards in what the unit says is a scheme to defraud banks of millions of shillings. The offence is alleged to have been committed on July 2.
