$3.3 million
Five Kenyan nationals face trial in two months on charges emerging from an alleged multimillion-dollar scam that hit government officials in at least four states. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Stanley set the Feb. 22 date after each pleaded not guilty Monday at hearings in Charleston. Conspiracy and wire and mail fraud charges against Michael "Mikie" Ochenge, 33, Robert "Robe" Otiso, 36, and Paramena "Joseph" Shikanda, 35, claim they helped trick public agencies out of funds meant for legitimate businesses.
