Police say they wanted to extort money from Patiala Distillers Director Francis Kiriiro at Total Petrol Station in Airport View along Mombasa Road, Nairobi, while threatening to accuse him of tax evasion.
It is said the three claimed they had an investigation report detailing how Mr Kiriiro’s company had been skirting around the tax obligation and demanded the bribe to drop the matter.
Three men who allegedly received a Sh500,000 bribe from a businessman while pretending they were officers from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) have been charged with attempted extortion.
Erick Otieno Atanga, Joel Omino and John Odhiambo were arrested last Friday.
