Socialite's grave 'dug up' after money buried with him

Ugandan authorities have launched an investigation to determine who dug up the grave of socialite Ivan Ssemwanga, reports the New Vision newspaper.

The flamboyant businessman was buried in June in a lavish send off where mourners doused his coffin with champagne and threw wads of cash into the grave:

It is not clear how much money was buried but it is reported that Ugandan shillings, South African rands and US dollars were thrown into the grave.

Ssemwanga, who was 39 at the time of his death, was famous for his partying lifestyle. He led the so-called Rich Gang, a group of wealthy men in Uganda.
