Dfcu thrown out of 20 Sudhir properties

Dfcu Bank was last week thrown out of 20 properties housing their countrywide branch network that belong to business magnate Sudhir Ruparelia’s Meera Investments.

On Saturday Dfcu began a process to vacate their Kampala Road branch at midnight, which used to be Crane Bank’s headquarters, but the process hadn’t been completed by morning and hawkeyed Ugandans captured the bank’s property being ferried out in truck loads.

In August last year, Sudhir won the battle for his Meera Investments properties that had been taken over by Dfcu. BoU had handed the disputed properties to Dfcu and Dfcu had transferred the properties to their name before the case could be disposed of.
