Information indicating that some Ugandans connived with fraudsters in
the Vatican to siphon money belonging to the Catholic seal has shocked
Catholics in the mainly Christian east African country.
News about money stolen from the Vatican with aid of Ugandans was
broken recently by Uganda's inspector general of police Kare Kayihura.
Kayihura
told the press that Uganda police had launched an investigation after
the Vatican requested them to look in a theft case through Ugandan
banks.
"I received a complaint from the Vatican about theft of
money. Can you imagine people daring to steal money from the Vatican.
From God" Kayihura said.
He said that suspected fraudsters stole money from the Vatican before cashing it in Uganda.
Uganda
police special investigations unit commander, Beat Chelimo said that
the money was part of two drafts of over half a million US dollars from
the Vatican.
A Ugandan woman, Esher Nabasa who withdrew the money was reportedly arrested by police.
"That
is terrible" said Father Simon Okello. "Theft in this country has gone
very far. It is unbelievable that some Ugandans are now stealing money
from the Vatican."
