Uganda Police are wondering how renowned Portuguese gold smuggler Joao Carlos Ramalho Ferreira evaded their dragnet and managed to sneak out of the country after they had laid an ambush to nab him.
Ferreira in a similar fashion slipped though Kenyan law enforcers in December after he had sneaked in 100 kilograms of gold from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) before moving the consignment to Uganda after his attempts to ship the precious commodity to Budapest, Hungary through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport hit the wall.
Uganda Police suspect that the scammer who is now on the watch of Interpol, could be having informers, who alerted him on the intended raid on his hotel and helped him sneak out of the country.
On his social media platforms he has resorted to blackmail, name soiling of legitimate firms and extortions, to divert attention over his trail.
“We don’t know how he managed to sneak out of Uganda without our knowledge and how he even learnt of our planned ambush,” a top police officer in Uganda who sought anonymity, said.
Joao Carlos Ramalho Ferreira, a Portuguese citizen of passport number CB459223, who is based in Hungary, is said to be liquid and a shrewd businessman with close connection with some top leaders in Middle East and Africa.
