  "account": "On August 25, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Kenya filed extradition proceedings against Chen Guang, a 39-year-old Chinese national, wanted by Ugandan authorities for a fraud totaling UGX 4.53 billion, or roughly KSh151 million. Chen, also known as Alex, is accused of 30 counts of forgery and one count of theft for allegedly manipulating financial documents while employed at Diamond Steel Uganda Limited as a cashier. The extradition request was filed by Ugandan authorities following a June 10, 2026, formal request from their government, which was received by the DPP on June 10, 2026.\n\nChen was apprehended at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on August 11, 2026, upon arrival from Harare, Zimbabwe. He was arrested for violating a warrant issued by Chief Magistrate Aciro Joan of the Mukono Chief Magistrates’ Court in Uganda. Prosecution Counsel Fatma Shaban requested that the court order Chen's surrender to Uganda to face criminal charges and opposed his release on bond, citing the risk of flight. Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda is leading the prosecution. The court will decide on the extradition application and determine whether Chen should remain in custody until the proceedings are concluded.",
