The house in Kileleshwa that was raided by DCI officers.
During the raid, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives arrested 15 suspects.
The detectives further impounded eight high-end vehicles alongside boxes that were believed to be used to store the fake gold.
“This is a major racket which we must dismantle. This raid is just one of the many to come,” stated DCI boss George Kinoti.
The raid happened at a time when a senator and two other politicians were under investigations for allegedly defrauding the UAE royal family of Ksh400 million in another gold scam.
Some DCI officials are reportedly expected to fly to Dubai to interview a confidant of the Sheikh in an attempt to unravel the saga that threatens diplomatic relations between the two countries.
