However, the printout from Emirates and Qatar airlines covering the period January 1 and February 24 did not have export of gold cargo as alleged in the DRC documents.
The team also visited several places that the DRC documents showed the gold passed through but none was proved.
“It was a high-level kind of con game, there was nothing like gold,” he said.
The team also obtained search warrants which enabled them to visit various homes of the 15 suspects who were named in the list but no recovery was made.
All they found were forged documents and seals and some of them were later charged with preparing to commit a crime.
The report by head of the investigating team Francis Njiru concluded that no gold was exported from Kenya in the said period, a fact corroborated by the Mines and Geology headquarters.
“So far, after perusing all records and registers and from searches conducted, it is evident that no gold of such value was exported during the period under inquiry,” the police team concluded.
However, records revealed that a small amount of gold was exported by genuinely registered companies,” part of the report read.
“It is therefore, ridiculous when someone says there was gold brought to Kenya and shipped out of the country to Dubai,” the officer said.
