Mirembe’s law firm is alleged to have used the services of intermediary parties to seek out vulnerable families in remote Ugandan villages, promising parents that their children would be moved to Kampala to further their education. American prospective adoptive parents then traveled to Uganda to adopt children from an unlicensed children’s home in Kampala. Mirembe, with the assistance of Patrick Ecobu, is suspected of having facilitated bribes to Ugandan judges and other Ugandan government officials to fraudulently procure adoption cases, either directly or through an interlocutor. Mirembe is also alleged to have paid bribes to get cases steered to judges Mukiibi and Musene. [1] [2]
