Jal,

That it. There is this saying that in Rome, you act like a Roman. The embassy seems to be adopting the Custom

of cooking heads. How the Hell could they trust a Ugandan to the accounts comptroller?

Fence. Uganda

Ugandan society has since independence been characterized by its leaders. Milton Obote and Idi Amin was infamous dictators who put the country on the map during a period of civil war and political repression in the 1960s to the 1980s.

Since 1986, the country experienced relative calm in Yoweri Museveni's leadership, but the president's regime is becoming increasingly criticized.He has ruled for almost 30 years and running for a new term in elections next year.

Uganda's population is the youngest in the world. Half of the residents are under 15 and 75 percent of the population is under 30, which means that they never lived under a different president than the current one.

Per capita GDP is modest 12,000 per year.

The Swedish Embassy in Uganda has been foisted on many millions in an advanced fraud suspected to have been carried out by an employee.According to Ugandan police can swindle that has been going for eight years include at least 14 million - but the amount can rise significantly.

- As it stands, it seems to be well developed criminal methods, says Tobias Nilsson at the Foreign Ministry's Communications Unit.

The locally hired man who is suspected of fraud has been working at the Swedish mission in Uganda and has been acting as accountant, among other things, responsible for local payments, as well as periodic balance controls of the Embassy accounts. He has also been cosignatory of accounts and therefore has had personal access to the embassy funds.

On 13 May this year was authorized a payment equivalent to SEK 8.7 million dollars from the embassy account to an account in the local currency shillings.

The man is suspected of having forged a letter with new instructions to Stanbic Bank where the embassy has their means. Falsified signatures from first embassy secretary Anne Lindeberg and one local administrator instructed the bank to allocate money to two different accounts. Only 4.2 million reached the designated account, which is less than half the original amount.

The difference of 4.5 million was missing on that account when fraud was detected, despite a statement from the bank claimed that the transaction has gone through.

The information comes from preliminary police report from the Uganda police central investigation unit CID, DN taken part of. The report strikes the police established that the fraud case involves a total of 6 billion shillings, equivalent to just over 14 million. But the sum could rise sharply, according to police spokesman Fred Enanga.

- The investigation is still ongoing and there are positive new clues suggesting that it may involve an amount of over 10 billion shillings, said Fred Enanga.

This means that up to 24 million crowns may have been lost.

MFA, Sida and the embassy is silent on the matter, referring to the ongoing police investigation.

- Which means it's all about and how much is too early to say. In principle, all information that we have concerns an ongoing investigation of crimes.The information subject to confidentiality under both the Swedish and the Ugandan law. We can therefore only answer very general, says Tobias Nilsson, who is deputy head of the Foreign Ministry's communications unit, DN.

After the irregularities detected during an internal control 2 September police reported the matter. Barely two weeks later hired an international audit firm is now conducting an investigation in parallel with the ongoing in police management.

The preliminary report will flag the police for fraud may have lasted for over eight years. It also writes that further transactions by the same procedure - with the forged letters, and duplicate accounts - have been discovered during the investigation. After the transactions, the accused having used counterfeit checks to take personal control over the money.

Police indicate in the report the Stanbic Bank as co-manager and notes that authorization letters are not double-checked with the embassy before transactions are completed. In addition, exchange rates manipulated to hide losses and the Bank's explanations were unsatisfactory.

"He is suspected of having conspired with the representatives of Stanbic Bank", according to the report.

Fred Enanga says to DN that no other person currently served suspicion, but that it "definitely" been some kind of interference on the banking side.

Stanbic Bank does not want to give any comment on the incident while the investigation is ongoing.

- We have a zero tolerance policy against fraud and work with all relevant authorities to establish the facts, says Bank Uganda Chef Patrick Mweheire in a written comment to DN.

The suspect was listed remains as an employee of the embassy's website at the beginning of the week but Tobias Nilsson said Wednesday DN that he was dismissed and two days later his name was gone from the list of employees and the service was vacant.

Staff should have loaned to Kampala from the embassy in the Kenyan capital Nairobi to temporarily perform the man's work.

The suspect was arrested by police on 9 September and was detained against his refusal September 15 to be released on bail a week later.During a raid in the man's home, police found the checks and correspondence from the Embassy, ​​title deeds for the land purchase, deposit slips, lease contracts and documents related to the purchase of a Toyota Land Cruiser from last year's model. This car costs at least half a million crowns in the region, but it is not clear from the report whether he completed the purchase. Police notes, however, that the man already driving a Mercedes Benz and has documents in the home concerning a diplomatskyltad Jeep Cherokee.

Account statements from the bank accounts of the suspect and his wife show "huge deposits". Some have been made directly with checks from the embassy, ​​writes the police believe that the suspect has failed to declare their income and land holdings.

Fred Enanga notes that the man given "great confidence and a high degree of confidence" from the embassy's direction.

- What surprises me is how this may have been going on since 2008. Sweden has sent down the auditors each year who are unable to reveal this until now, he says.

Last year, Sweden, Uganda Assistance to a total of SEK 229 million. The main expenditure items relating to health and human rights who together represent half of the aid budget. Exactly what type of funds lost in the fraud in writing unclear.

Tobias Nilsson at the Foreign Ministry says that from Swedish side will take the case on "very seriously" but he would not at present say that the lack of routines.

- On the initiative of the Embassy in Kampala, MFA and Sida has an international audit firm been asked to conduct a review. We will analyze the report when we get it in order to draw conclusions and see what lessons we can learn for the future, says Nilsson, who defends the current procedures within the administration.

- We are constantly working to detect irregularities and if we find some, we act - the internal controls that discovered irregularities, and the measures we have taken, confirms this, he says.

DN has, after several days of attempts, failed to make contact with the suspect or his agent.

Dan / GOOK,

Sorry for the delay. I am tied up on something.

I saw it too. But, noticed that it was "an employee" of the embassy. Classical Swedish custom not to disclose

identity, i guess. I am not surprised. What could be sensational is that it is such a rare happening in the Embassies in Africa.

Please Comment:

Sveriges ambassad i Uganda har lurats på mångmiljonbelopp i ett
avancerat bedrägeri som misstänks ha genomförts av en anställd.
Enligt ugandisk polis kan svindeln som pågått i åtta år omfatta
minst 14 miljoner kronor – men beloppet kan stiga kraftigt
