Musene is alleged to have participated in a scheme whereby, in certain instances, young children were removed from Ugandan families under promises for “special education” programs and study in the United States, and were subsequently offered to U.S. families for adoption. In order to arrange the adoption of the children, Mirembe, with the assistance of Ecobu, is suspected of having facilitated multiple bribes to Ugandan judges. Musene is alleged to have accepted multiple bribes from Mirembe and Ecobu to serve as an interlocutor. Mirembe is suspected of having negotiated with Musene a flat fee for processing adoption cases. In at least one case, Mirembe is alleged to have met directly with Musene to arrange an additional amount of money required for Musene to expedite the date of a pending adoption case on Musene’s court calendar. Following Musene’s transfer to a different court division, Mirembe is suspected of having arranged to get cases steered to Mukiibi, to whom at least one individual is alleged to have paid cash bribes at the direction of Mirembe.
