Vivian Mbuga was recently detained over charges related to fraud. Her husband, SK Mbuga was arrested many months ago over the same charges.
Mbuga had been languishing in a Dubai prison until a week ago when he was extradited to Denmark to face trial in a case of $2.6m (Shs9.5b) gold deal gone bad.
Authorities in Sweden had requested the UAE government to hand over Mbuga in a case of 53m Kronor (about Shs23 billion) that his Swedish wife allegedly fleeced from a company account she jointly ran with her former boyfriend, Mr Sten Heinsoo.
Vivian was formely arrested in Sweden but after receiving bail she reportedly escaped from the country and came to Uganda.
She has been trying to raise money to save her husband.
Following her arrest, Vivian is pleading with local authorities to charge her here rather then Sweden.
