Belgium Bitcoin billionaire Merc De Mesel slept with three Kenyan women Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge, Tabby Wambui Kago and Jane Wangui Kago and gave them Ksh259 million.
Mesel gave Felesta Ksh108 million, Tabby Ksh102 million and Jane Ksh49 million, money which was deposited in their respective bank accounts.
Late last year, detectives from the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) moved to court and got an order to freeze the bank accounts belonging to the three ladies which received the millions from Mesel.
Justice Esther Maina ordered the account to be frozen for 90 days in order to allow ARA to establish the source of the money in the bank accounts.
ARA believes that the funds were transferred unlawfully and for unknown reasons. According to agency, the parties might have been involved in money laundering.
21-year-old Felesta Njoroge was the first one to receive Ksh108 million from the Belgium bitcoin billionaire.
Few days later, Merc De Mesel sent Tabby Wambui Kago Ksh102 million and the account was frozen again. Later, Mesel sent Jane Wangui Kago Ksh49 Million.
Interestingly, it turns out that Jane is the sister to Tabby. Jane revealed that her sister Tabby met Merc in 2017, lived together in 2018, after which he flew back to his country and he kept sending her money.
Tabby even received Ksh20 Million from the Belgian lover and she used the money to build a house for her mother in Thogoto, Kiambu County.
Another interesting fact is that Tabby and Felesta are very good friends, they know each other.
Meanwhile the bank accounts belonging to the three ladies are still frozen by Assets Recovery Agency (ARA).
In her defense, Felesta Njoroge told authorities that she was pregnant with Merc De Mesel’s baby and that the money was a way of appreciation.
The Ksh108 Million was sent to two of her accounts. It was later established that the amount was sent from unknown sources.
The case involving Felesta and Merc has been going on for a while now with investigation agencies led by Asset And Recovery digging deep to try to find out where the money came from.
It has now emerged that the two lovebirds were in Kenya when the money was sent. This meant that the Belgian sent the money while he was still in the country.
However, Felesta and Merc are reported to have escaped from Kenya immediately after the money was flagged by authorities.
According to detectives, the two sneaked out of Kenya through the Namanga border where reported to have walked on foot to Tanzania.
Namanga is a porous border where there are several crossing points where people can cross into and out of Kenya and Tanzania without being tracked.
Felesta and Merc did not pass through the immigration office when they crossed to Tanzania, which is illegal and against the law.
It’s still unclear whether they are still in Tanzania or they ultimately traveled to Belgium.
