The Assets Recovery Agency is involved in a separate investigation targeting cybercrime. They are seeking to freeze over Sh6.7 million linked to a mobile phone theft and money laundering syndicate. The funds are believed to be proceeds of crime generated from the theft, repair, and resale of stolen mobile phones.

Key details of the investigation:

• The agency targets three individuals suspected of running the syndicate.
• The largest single amount targeted is Sh4 million in one account linked to Syllus Musila Kivyatu.
• Zachariah Lekishon stated that the respondents are involved in acquiring and selling stolen mobile phones.

There is imminent danger that these individuals may dispose of or transfer the funds unless preservation orders are issued by the court. Observers note that this situation highlights ongoing challenges with cybercrime in Kenya.
