Lawyer Geofrey Mbobua Charged For Fraud
Geoffrey Kinoti Mbobua, an advocate of the High Court, has been charged alongside tycoon Humphrey Kariuki in the Sh41 billion tax evasion dispute.
The director of alcohol manufacturer Africa Spirits Limited (ASL) has been charged with 18 counts of tax evasion, tax fraud, aiding the commission of tax offences and being in possession of counterfeit excise stamps and excisable goods. Mr Mbobua denied all charges before chief magistrates Francis Andayi and Martha Mutuku.
Mbobua is accused of aiding two companies linked to the tycoon, ASL and Wow Beverages, to conceal 122,610 bottles of alcoholic drinks which were affixed with counterfeit excise stamps in order to evade paying requisite tax.
Kariuki, alongside Stuart Gerald, Peter Njenga, Robert Muriithi, Geoffrey Mbobua, Simon Maundu, Kepha Githu, and their two companies Africa Spirits Limited and Wow Beverages Limited are facing 21 charges in three different files involving the scheme to evade tax.
The charges alleged that they deliberately failed to pay taxes, falsified records, omitted records from the Value Added Tax (VAT) and concealed excise stamp duties between February 2016 to December 2018, leading to a tax loss of Sh41 billion.
The case will be heard on December 10
