What you need to know:

  • Ms Amadi, alongside her son Brian Ochieng, two other Kenyans and a Liberian citizen have been sued by Bruton Gold Trading LLC, a gold trading firm registered in Dubai, which claims to have lost $742,206 between September 22 and October 21, 2021.

The Court of Appeal has allowed a Dubai-based company to challenge a decision to unfreeze the bank accounts of Judicial Registrar Anne Amadi, her son Brian and two others following an alleged gold export fraud.

Bruton Gold Trading LLC says police investigations show that Ms Amadi received some of the money she was allegedly defrauded of, and wants the Court of Appeal to impose new freezing orders on the named bank accounts.
