The legal troubles facing Ali Mohammed, the former Managing Director of Duck Hunters Security Services Limited, have deepened after detectives from the State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU) and the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) re-arrested him on fresh forgery charges linked to documents allegedly used to secure his release on bail.
Mohammed was arrested this week moments after appearing before Makindye Chief Magistrate Robert Magara for the mention of an ongoing case in which he and others are accused of defrauding Dubai-based investors of Shs13 billion in a fake gold deal.
Authorities escorted him to SHACU offices at the Parliamentary Complex to record a statement before transferring him to Wandegeya Police Station as investigations intensified.
According to SHACU, detectives are investigating allegations that Mohammed presented forged documents, including a marriage certificate and a medical report purportedly issued by Kibuli Hospital claiming he was diabetic, to strengthen his successful bail application.
SHACU spokesperson Mariam Natasha confirmed the arrest, saying investigators had been pursuing Mohammed for weeks after he allegedly failed to cooperate with the probe.
“Despite repeated requests for him to record a statement, he remained evasive. We now want him to explain the origin of the documents that were presented before court,” Natasha said.
The latest arrest stems from investigations launched after prosecutors challenged the authenticity of the documents relied upon during Mohammed’s bail application.
Ali Mohammed’s appearance at Makindye Magistrate’s Court took a dramatic turn after detectives from the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and the Criminal Investigations Directorate arrested him immediately after proceedings over fresh allegations that he forged documents used to obtain bail.
The former Duck Hunters Security Services Limited boss is already battling charges related to an alleged Shs13 billion fake gold scam involving investors from Dubai but now faces an additional criminal investigation over suspected forged court documents.
