After suspending Worldcoin operations in August 2023, Kenyan authorities have finally dropped a probe against the firm, potentially paving the way for its comeback.
Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency and digital identity project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has secured a major win in Kenya after receiving a suspension order in 2023.
According to an official statement from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) of the National Police Service, Kenyan police have dropped an investigation into Worldcoin.
The statement, dated June 14, 2024, addressed an update request from Worldcoin lawyers regarding the status of the investigation filed in May 2024. According to the DCI, Kenya’s public prosecution unit concurred and ordered the Worldcoin case to be closed without further police action.
