- According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on X, Morlon is accused of defrauding two businessmen—a Romanian and a Swiss national USD 120,000.
Detectives from the Kenya Airport Police Unit (KAPU) have made significant strides in a gold scam case by arresting a suspect identified as Jean Emmanuel Morlon, also known as Lamarca J. Benjamin. Morlon was presented in court after a 12-day custodial order, granted on February 4, 2025, which allowed investigators to finalize their inquiries.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on X, Morlon is accused of defrauding two businessmen—a Romanian and a Swiss national USD 120,000.
“Upon his arraignment, the DCI-FCIO team pressed multiple charges against Jean Emmanuel Morlon including Obtaining Money by False Pretenses, Possession of a Firearm Without a Firearm Certificate, Possession of Ammunition Without a Firearm Certificate, Creating a False Document, and Forgery of an Official Document,” said the DCI on X.
Morlon pleaded not guilty to all charges before the Senior Principal Magistrate's Court No. 1 at the JKIA Law Court. However, the investigating team expressed serious concerns about his potential flight risk, prompting the court to deny him bail. He has been remanded at the Industrial Area Remand Prison and his case is set to be mentioned again on March 3, 2025.
