The embattled CEO of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah has been remanded by an Accra Circuit court after he was taken to court this morning.
Nana Appiah Mensah arrived in the country yesterday, July 11 but was whisked away by the Ghana Police to the CID headquarters for interrogations.
According to reports Gossips24.com got from Adom FM, Nana Appiah Mensah has been levelled with four charges.
He has been charged with two counts of abetment to defraud by false pretence and two counts of abetment to carry out banking business without licence, contrary to Section 6 (1) of the Banks and Specialised Deposit-taking Institutions Act, 2016 (Act 930).
Two of his companies — Brew Marketing Consult and Menzgold Ghana Limited — represented by him, have each been charged with defrauding by false pretence, contrary to sections 20 (1) and 13 (1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The two companies have also been charged with carrying out a deposit-taking business without licence, contrary to Section 6 (1) of Act 930.
Also facing the law are his sister and his wife, Benedicta Appiah and Rose Tetteh, respectively, who have been slapped with two counts of abetment to defraud by false pretence and two counts of abetment to carry out banking business without licence, contrary to Section 6 (1) of Act 930. The two women are, however, at large.
Plea by his lawyers led by Kwame Akuffo to grant him bail failed.
The case has since been adjourned to July 26, 2019.
We will keep you posted.
