 The Court of Appeal has set free Justin Kasusura, the man at the centre of the dramatic theft of $2 million (about Sh4.4 billion at the current exchange rate) that belonged to Citibank, the outcome judges linked to shoddy investigation and poor prosecution.

The court said on Monday prosecution had failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the case against Kasusura who grabbed headlines in the early 2000 following the robbery of money that was being transported from the Julius Nyerere International Airport to a Citibank branch.

The $2 million in cash was brought in from the United States by Swissair before it was stolen on the way to the branch. “With due respect, we wish to state from the outset that we have noted with great concern that this case has been badly investigated and consequently poorly prosecuted,” said judges Sauda Mjasiri, Mbarouk Mbarouk and Semistocles Kaijage.

Mr Kasusura alias John Laizer was in 2007 sentenced to 30 years in jail after the Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court found him guilty of armed robbery and theft.

He was charged along six other persons who were later freed after the court found them to have no case to answer.
