\"JosephDeputy Attorney General, Joseph Kpemka<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Deputy Attorney General, Joseph Kpemka, has said extradition processes for Chief Executive of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, will be triggered by police in a month.<\/p>\n

Nana Appiah Mensah, known popularly as NAM 1 was acquitted and cleared of fraud charges on Tuesday, April 9 by a Dubai court.<\/p>\n

The Dubai court ordered Horizon Diamonds, the Complainant, to pay NAM 1 outstanding debts. NAM1 had been in the custody of the Dubai authorities since November 2018 over a gold deal that went bad.<\/p>\n

Many, especially Menzgold customers whose investments have been locked up in the collapsed gold dealership, hailed NAM1\u2019s acquittal. They are hopeful he will return to Ghana with enough cash to settle them.<\/p>\n

The excitement over NAM1\u2019s acquittal was, however, short-lived as Public Relations Officer of Menzgold, Nii Armah Amarteifio, announced that his boss has been re-arrested.<\/p>\n

Nii Armah Amarteifio told the media on Wednesday, April 10, 2019, that NAM 1\u2019s re-arrest was at the behest of the Ghanaian authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was re-arrested in Dubai. This was after the Interpol in Ghana issued an alert that he was being investigated,\u201d Mr Amarteifio said on Accra FM.Joseph Kpemka<\/p>\n

But Mr Kpemka denies that NAM1 is in the grips of Interpol at the behest of Ghanaian authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not accurate at all. Government is not holding Nana Appiah Mensah. After the court hearing [in Dubai] I got the information that he was acquitted and discharged from an official source.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the laws of that country, United Arab Emirates, the complainant has 30 days within which to lodge an appeal. Within that period, they will still hold him until it elapses then there is no appeal and he is released. The CID is working on that. After 30 days they will trigger the processes to necessary that will ensure that he comes back,\u201d Mr Kpemka explained.<\/p>\n

Over GHS 200 million locked up<\/b><\/p>\n

Official records show at least GHS 200 million have been locked up in Menzgold.<\/p>\n

The Finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta revealed this during a durbar with army officers in which the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, was present.<\/p>\n

The information, which was in response to a question, reveals for the first time the extent of loss Menzgold customers have been exposed to after an undisclosed number of them bought into their business pitch of paying 7% to 10% returns on special gold collectibles bought and deposited with the company.<\/p>\n

The question from an army officer also opened the lid on the level of involvement of security officers in the business that is believed to have attracted a wide spectrum of Ghanaians including religious leaders.<\/p>\n

Already 53 soldiers, in January 2019, have sued Menzgold Ghana Limited, for failing to pay back \u00a22.5 million in investments.<\/p>\n

The company began crumbling in September 2019 after the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered it to shut down its \u201cgold\u201d dealership operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
