New sentence for Kenyan jailed for stealing Sh434million from US treasury
New sentence for Kenyan jailed for stealing from US treasury.
A Court of Appeal in the US has overturned a 10-year sentence slapped on a Kenyan for hacking and stealing from the US government. Jeffrey Sila Ndungi will now be sentenced afresh after Justices Patrick Higginbotham, Jennifer Elrod and Catharina Haynes unanimously agreed that a Northern Texas jury wrongly convicted him for aiding and participating in filing fraudulent tax returns.
The three judges ruled that there was no sufficient evidence to pin the hacker and ordered that he should be re-sentenced.
