Lawyer wants billionaire’s grave opened to retrieve buried money [PHOTOS]

A lawyer has requested that the grave of Ugandan-born South Africa - based late billionaire , Ivan Semwanga , be opened up .

The 39 -year - old billionaire was buried with large amount of money said to be about 100 million Ugandan Shillings by family and friends.

The lawyer , Tugume Gideon, had deposed that Semwanga was buried with money, a legal tender that no one is allowed to hoard .

Ugandan media reports that Gideon had sued to have the grave opened and the money removed , claiming that the money is a legal tender and should not be locked down with anyone .

The lawyer has consequently petitioned the high court to have Ivan Semwanga ’ s grave dismantled .

Ivan’ s crew , who call themselves the “Rich Gang , ” had poured hundreds of notes into the late billionaire ’ s grave , along with a generous quantity of champagnes .

Semwanga was buried Tuesday, May 30 , at his home in Kayunga, Uganda .
