Teacher loses Sh1.7m car over Myanmar human trafficking link

His M-Pesa number directly received 'facilitation fees' and ransom payments from victims and their relatives.

The High Court ordered a primary school teacher to forfeit his Sh1.7 million Toyota Axio after the Assets Recovery Agency proved it was bought using money extorted from human trafficking victims forced into cybercrime hubs in Myanmar.

A teacher has lost his Sh1.7 million car after the High Court found that the vehicle was acquired using proceeds linked to an alleged human trafficking operation.

Justice BM Musyoki ordered the forfeiture of the vehicle to the government after finding that Evans Kimtai Sichei had failed to explain how he raised the money used to buy it.

The judge said the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) had established, on a balance of probabilities, that the vehicle was proceeds of crime.
