For those not in the know, Felista has become a viral sensation after news emerged that the Nairobi Technical Training Institute student had Sh 102,654,024 in her bank account.
The large sum attracted the attention of sleuths at the Asset Recovery Agency who have suspicions that Felesta may be part of a money-laundering syndicate involving foreigners.
But according to the lady in question, her Belgian boyfriend, De Mesel Marc, made the deposit and it was meant to be a gift.
“Preliminary investigations have established the respondent opened the suspect account for the sole purpose of receiving the said funds which she declared the source to be from “my boyfriend” and the purpose as investing in land projects and safaris,” the affidavit by the assets agency read.
De Marc himself corroborated her version of events in a signed affidavit, admitting that he sent the money which Felesta was to use as she wishes.
“That I hereby admit that the donee will be full and absolute legal owner of the gifted money and even though I hope that she builds financial security for herself and our future children, she will be free to use the said gifted amount as per her own will,” his affidavit read.
