Top government officials are behind the Sh2 billion Barclays Bank fake currency saga, lawyer Miguna Miguna has now claimed.
The self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader argued there is no way such a huge amount of money can be found in a bank without the knowledge of top government officials.
Miguna argued that the money laundering scam was an 'inside top-level' plan.
He questioned why the government is yet to arrest officials from the bank following the incident, adding that the process of counting and verifying the currency would have taken more than three hours.
"Shs 2 billion in fake US dollars require the use of 5 suitcases and would take more than 3 hours to count, verify, test and deposit. The #BarclaysBank scandal was an inside top-level money laundering scheme with State complicity. Why are the FAT PIGS at Barclays not in handcuffs?” he said through his official Twitter account on Thursday.
The impounding of the fake currency came after Flying Squad officers pitched tent at the bank for several hours.
Detectives have arrested several persons linked to the saga as investigations continue.
