Intelligence officers in Kampala are probing reports that city socialite Bad Black real names Shanita Namuyimbwa fraudulently acquired a passport.
The investigations started after Bad Black last week unsuccessfully applied to secure a Germany Visa so as to travel to Germany.
Bad Black was granted bail in December last year after she had been on remand at Luzira prison for a month on embezzlement charges.
A source at the German embassy told our informers that the officials at the embassy requested her to first bring written clearance from the court allowing her to travel to German because she still had court issues to solve first. Following the development Uganda intelligence officials started probing circumstances under which Bad Black acquired another passport when her passport was deposited in court last year.
The prosecution says that in September 2010, Bad Black’s boyfriend, David Green Halgh, opened a company with Bad Black. The company was registered as Daveshan Development Limited.
It was to deal in land purchase and property management. Green had 75% of the shares and Bad Black only 25%.
Prosecution says that between September 2010 and March 2011, Green deposited $3,824,130(shs9, 438,075,691) from UK to facilitate the business.
On December5, 2010, Green came to Uganda to monitor the progress of their business but Bad Black repotedly failed to account for the money.
