Ketan Somaia, the man at the centre of one of Kenya’s biggest financial crimes, the Goldenberg scandal, was last Friday convicted of nine counts of obtaining money transfers by deception at London’s Old Bailey criminal courts.
The 52-year-old former Kenya resident who moved to the UK, was convicted by a 12-man jury and now faces many years behind bars in a UK prison when he is convicted on June 23.
