Beware of these conmen: Robert Mwangi (Piracy Marshall) and Charles “Jaguar” Kanyi (Kenyan Musician), and Tawrel group
They go around extorting business people in Kenya in the name of fighting piracy.
They send spies or informers to plant copied Kenyan music CDs at Bars, clubs (near the DJ booth) and leave saved music tracks in cyber café computers. Then notify some corrupt police inspector who is working with them.
The corrupt police then radios a team of other police crooks to arrest the business owner.
Once they get to the police station, they don’t book you to arrest you, instead they take you to an office and harass you and instill fear of a jail sentence so you can cough large sums of money to get out. At the station “Jaguar” will appear and claim to be suffering because you stole his music.
They then split the money amongst them. This operation is carried out in the evenings to avoid suspicion at the police station.
