Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has filed new charges against the Chief Executive Officer of defunct Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah, alias NAM 1.
The new charges were filed on Wednesday, August 30, 2023.
The court hearing has been scheduled for September 19, 2023.
Mr Appiah Mensah has been charged with 36 counts of offences including abetment, defrauding by false pretences, carrying on deposit-taking business without license, unlawful deposit-taking, money laundering among others.
The Attorney General commenced the prosecution of NAM 1 in 2019 where he was accused of defrauding thousands of customers through his gold dealership firm over millions of cedis.
The case has witnessed a number of adjournments until fresh charges were filed today, Wednesday, August 30, 2023.
The new charges come after Mr Appiah Mensah announced plans to release locked-up funds to Menzgold customers after a payment of roughly GH₵650 for verification.
