Three suspects arrested after Sh2 billion in fake cash was found at a Barclays Bank branch Queensway in Nairobi yesterday blamed the prosecution for delaying a Sh 20 million fraud case against them.

In the case, Erick Otieno Adede, a lawyer and international consultant is charged alongside two businesswomen namely Mary Wanjiru Mwangi alias Elizabeth Muthoni and Irene Wairimu Kimani.

They have denied five counts of conspiracy to defraud, being in possession of minerals and pretending to be Barclays Bank managers. The lawyer blamed the prosecution for delaying the case, saying since the case was filed in court now four years ago, it has never proceeded.
