The Ghana Police Service has disclosed that it has deposited the GH¢2.5 million it received from the Chief Executive Officer of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, at the Bank of Ghana.
The police service revealed in a brief statement on Tuesday October 24, 2023.
The police said “on the advice of the Office of the Attorney-General (AG), on Friday, October 20, 2023, received an amount of GH₵2.5 million from the founder of the defunct Menzgold company, Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as NAM 1. The said amount has been deposited in the Police Exhibit account at the Bank of Ghana (BoG) for the attention of the Court.”
The statement also indicated that the amount is part of investigations into petitions received from some customers of MenzGold Ghana Company Limited and Brew Marketing Consult Limited, currently before the Accra High Court against the suspect Nana Appiah Mensah.
“We would like to state that the decision on the disbursement of the money would be determined by the court,” the police service added in its statement.
NAM 1 is standing trial for fraud and money laundering charges leveled against him.
The CEO of the defunct gold dealership firm has since pleaded not guilty to 39 charges.
