Kenyan sisters who scammed American taxpayers out of millions

What you need to know:

  • After their uncle fled to Kenya to escape arrest, Loretta Wavinya and Lillian Nzongi took charge of the family syndicate.
  • The sisters filed fraudulent tax returns.
  • They were arrested in June 2007, by which time they had stolen a staggering Sh1.5 billion in the US.

Nobody noticed as Paul Kilungya Nyumu flew back to Kenya in order to avoid prosecution in the United States over the theft of Sh200 million.

In Nairobi, he quietly left Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and vanished into thin air.
