After being put under investigation by Swedish police for allegedly defrauding a politician and tycoon Sten Heinsoo, 71 in a fake gold deal worth Shs23billion, Sulaiman Kabangala Mbuga and wife Vivienne Chebet are reportedly to hiding in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Our sources who are close to the couple told our snoops that the two sneaked out of the country in December last year and they are holed up in one of the plush hotels in the gulf.
“Yes, they left late December last year and their destination was Dubai. They told us that they are going for a short holiday,” revealed a friend who preferred to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter.
This website understands that Media has be full of stories on how the couple defrauded a Swedish politician and tycoon Sten Heinsoo, 71.
Expressen, a Swedish newspaper has exclusively reported that preliminary investigations have led the police to one of Uganda’s most famous property mogul Sulaiman “SK” Mbuga, 34, and his wife Angella Vivienne Chebet, 33.
Last week, Sten Heinsoo was charged with gross negligence against the principals of trust. Even Vivienne Chebet – who is a Swedish citizen for a few years – was charged by the Stockholm District Court for several cases of gross fraud against Heinsoo in absentia. “SK” Mbuga has also been dragged into this verdict for probable same reasons suspected of the same crime.
“SK” Mbuga describes himself as a businessman but details of how he earned his money has been scanty. In July 2016, after he showered his wife with gifts in the form of a specially-ordered Mercedes-Benz, exclusive jewellery and a Dubai holidays, Ugandan newspaper New Vision reported that “the source of income is a mystery.”
Both “SK” Mbuga and Vivienne Chebet are still at large because Sweden has no extradition agreement with Uganda.
However Sweden court has sent a request of legal assistance to Uganda to arrest and try the two.
“As stated in the preliminary investigation, a request for legal assistance to Uganda has been sent, which has not yet been answered,” said chamber prosecutor Mathias Lidberg.
In February last year, Vivienne Chebet returned to Sweden. She was arrested but despite the state prosecutor’s request to detain her, the District Court considered that it was possible to monitor her with just a travel ban and notification obligation.
Vivienne met the set conditions until two weeks ago when she disappeared and departed to Uganda. Now she is being searched by the Swedish police.
