Kessben granted bail

Kumasi based business man and CEO of the Kessben Group of companies Kwabena Kesse has been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court.

Kessben, as he is affectionately called, is standing trial for two counts of money laundering and forgery of documents but was granted a bail condition of 350 million cedis with four sureties, two of which would be justified.

Joy News’ Annie Osabutey reported that the suspect would have to report to the police twice a week.

He is accused of illegally transferring $127,931,727.65 out of Ghana to dubious locations as well as forging documents to the bank to facilitate the transfer.

Presiding Judge, Mr Francis Obiri, granted the suspect the bail after he dismissed an earlier application.
