Court heard that between the months of February and June 2024, the accused, conspired and defrauded an American investor of USD 105,000 (UGX 376,254,500) by falsely claiming they would supply him with 20kgs of pure gold, which was not true.
Egesa now joins his co-accused Kizito Dalton who was earlier charged and remanded on similar charges.
Egesa has been remanded to Luzira Prison until 23rd July 2025 for mention of the case and bail application.
