The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has, for the second time, been allowed to obtain several documents from companies behind Tatu City as part of a probe into alleged money laundering and tax evasion.

Kahawa Law Courts Principal Magistrate Gideon Kiage dismissed an application by Tatu City Ltd and Kofinaf Company Ltd, which sought to quash an order allowing the DCI to collect documents related to the investigation.

The two companies had argued that they were denied their right to fair action when the court issued orders allowing the seizure of documents in August, following an application by the DCI.

In a separate but related ruling, the magistrate has allowed the DCI in the following weeks to seize some documents from Lutta & Company Advocates, which relate to various transactions involving the Tatu City project.
