Kenyan Nationals Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Friday, Kenyan nationals, 30 year old Albert Gunga and 33 year old Michael Ochenge were sentenced in U.S. District Court in Charleston. Both men pleaded guilty to conspiring to launder proceeds from an international scam that targeted agencies in West Virginia and other states. Both men helped scam state agencies which owed legitimate government vendors and then transferred the funds, while around $772,000 scammed from the West Virginia's auditor's office ended up in Kenya. Gunga received a 10-month prison term while Ochenge was sentenced to four years.
