CID arrests man accused of defrauding job seekers using the name of Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba

The Criminal Investigations Directorate arrested a man accused of defrauding 62 people of more than 100 million shillings with promises of jobs in America and Europe, reportedly claiming to co-own his company with Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. CID spokesperson Charles Twine said the suspect used the names of prominent people to intimidate victims; he faces charges including fraud, impersonation and attempted trafficking in persons. A police source and a victim told URN that the suspect had been arrested months earlier at Old Kampala police station but was released after soldiers demanded it.
