Marc De Mesel and his girlfriend caught the attention of netizens yesterday after it was revealed that the boyfriend sent his girlfriend a huge sum of money in her account that prompted the authorities to react and question the source of the money.
Mr. Marc De Mesel sent a staggering sum of money to his girlfriend’s account who is a student.
Before Marc De Mesel came into the picture, Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge had people shocked when the 102 million Shillings was sent to her account, she isn’t into any sort of business that could easily allow her to have such a huge of money in a short time.
The aforementioned money was split into four transactions, at least according to the Nairobi Technical Training Institute Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge who allegedly fled the country after authorities found the KSh. 102, 654,024 in her bank account.
The Assets Recovering Agency(ARA) suspects the monies are proceeds of crime and money laundering.
“There are reasonable grounds to suspect the funds held in account number 02100705531800 held at Co-operative Bank in the name of the respondent, are illicit funds in which the respondent is involved in a money laundering scheme, designed to conceal and disguise the nature, source location and movement of the funds,” the ARA agency said.
The large sum of money was transacted in the span of 3 days; from 4th August to August 6 2021 with the bank account being recently opened.
On August 4, a sum of Sh25,803,756 was deposited. The following day, Sh26,028,156 and Sh25,242,756 were deposited in two separate transactions.
“Preliminary investigations have established the respondent opened the suspect account for the sole purpose of receiving the said funds which she declared the source to be from “my boyfriend” and the purpose as investing in land projects and safaris,” the affidavit by the Assets Recovery Agency(ARA) reads.
Miss Felesta, 21, received the aforementioned amount of money from her Belgian boyfriend Marce De Mesel who has since signed an affidavit admitting that it was him who actually sent the money to her to use as she pleases.
“That I hereby admit that the donee will be full and absolute legal owner of the gifted money and even though I hope that she builds financial security for herself and our future children, she will be free to use the said gifted amount as per her own will,” his affidavit reads.
Marc De Mesel is into cryptocurrency so the KSh. 102 million shillings is probably pocket change for him since he makes millions in US Dollars on the regular through his cryptocurrency investments.
He’s an Investor 40% CAGR since 2008 and indulged in Bitcoin since 2012 and he loves Voluntarism, Capitalism, Exotic Ladies & Cars, Babies & $BCH, at least according to his Twitter profile.
ARA said that they had earlier summoned Njoroge on October 18th to explain the source of the huge amounts in her account but she never showed up.
Later on, in two days’ time, the agency received a formal letter from Ndindi and Nadida Advocates notifying them that their client was out of the country having left the country a few days before she was summoned by them.
“We would like to inform you that our client, Felesta, is currently not in Kenya and in fact left the country on October 2, 2021 … we don not have informatoin on when our client will be coming back to Kenya,” the letter from Felesta’s legal team read in part.
