A company owned by billionaire businessman Humphrey Kariuki has accused the prosecution of dragging it into many court cases to scuttle its operations over tax evasion claims.

Africa Spirits Limited (ASL) through lawyer Cecil Miller told High Court Judge Luka Kimaru that there are multiple cases involving the same parties and on the same subject matter filed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) seeking preservation orders against its bank accounts.
