The Internal Security Organization (ISO) has commenced investigations on city lawyer David Mpanga of AF Mpanga Advocates on allegations of embezzlement, forgery and money laundering.
In a letter dated Thursday, February 28, 2019, D/SP Michael Ben Ogingo, the Deputy Commander Kampala Metropolitan Police said Mpanga and colleagues are expected to appear at the ISO headquarters in Nakasero on March 7, 2019 at 9am to provide valuable information relevant to matters under investigation in connection to allegations of forgery, embezzlement and money laundering concerning Account No.9030008027470 in Stanbic Bank.
The city lawyer, who was last week dropped by Kabaka Mutebi as Buganda Kingdom Attorney General, has been invited along with Jacqualine Lule, Hawa Bukenya, Ochwo Angelo and AF Mpanga Advocates.
Mpanga and others have been summoned at ISO Headquarters in Nakasero on the 7th March 2019 “to provide valuable information relevant to matters under investigation in connection to allegations of forgery, embezzlement and money laundering concerning Account No. 9030008027470 in Stanbic Bank.”
Mpanga and his AF Mpanga Advocates are embroiled in a conflict of interest case in which Bank of Uganda on June 30, 2017, sued city businessman Sudhir Ruparelia and his investments firm Meera Investments Ltd seeking to recover about Shs400bn allegedly extracted fraudulently from Crane Bank together with Freehold titles of the Bank’s branches.
In his affidavit, Sudhir asked Court to block AF Mpanga Advocates who are representing the Central Bank in this court case because the same lawyers were representing Crane Bank.
