Prince Tagoe\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFormer Black Stars player, Prince Tagoe, in a bid to avoid going to prison, has so far refunded $21,000 (GHS 210,000 equivalent) to former Black Stars Assistant Coach, George Boateng, who he allegedly defrauded $40,000.<\/p>\n
This leaves an outstanding balance of $19,000 which the player is to pay in order for the criminal case brought against him to be discontinued.<\/p>\n
Tagoe has denied the charge leveled against him but is taking no chances, hence, has so far made payments of GH\u00a220,000, GH\u00a270,000 and GH\u00a271,000, to the complainant.<\/p>\n
He is before a Circuit Court in Accra charged with defrauding by false pretences after failing to fulfill his promise to import a Lexus sports utility vehicle for the Assistant Coach.<\/p>\n
He has pleaded not guilty to the charge and has been granted a bail of GH\u00a2100,000 with three sureties, one of whom should be a civil servant.<\/p>\n
One of the sureties is to be justified with landed property within the jurisdiction of the court.<\/p>\n
When the case was called before the court, Prince Tagoe contended that he was going to refund the money based on the 2021 Dollar to Cedi exchange rate.<\/p>\n
This was objected to by the prosecution led by Detective Chief Inspector, Agartha Abena Asantewa, who said the money given by the complainant to him the accused were in dollars.<\/p>\n
She said the prosecution had pegged one dollar at GH\u00a210, although it is not the current exchange rate on the forex market.<\/p>\n
The court subsequently ordered Prince Tagoe to pay $40,000 at an exchange rate of GH\u00a210 per dollar.<\/p>\n
Prosecution\u2019s brief facts before the court states that, Antwi Boateng, also a former Ghanaian footballer, was based in Germany.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor said Tagoe, was once a player under the management of the complainant in Germany.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Asantewaa said in 2020, Tagoe and Boateng met in Ghana and the complainant told the accused that he needed to buy a vehicle.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said Tagoe agreed to import a vehicle for the complainant at $40, 000, which is equivalent to GH\u00a2265, 200.<\/p>\n
She said $40,000 was deposited into Tagoe\u2019s bank account on January 8, 2021, and he acknowledged receipt with a phone call to Boateng.<\/p>\n
The facts said Tagoe promised to deliver the vehicle to Boateng on March 30, 2021, but failed.<\/p>\n
Tagoe called Boateng and asked for an extra two weeks to deliver the car, to which he agreed.<\/p>\n
The court heard that Tagoe was unable to import the vehicle as promised.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said Boateng travelled to Ghana on April 27, 2021, to pick up his vehicle, but he was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
When Boateng called to ask for the vehicle, Tagoe allegedly said that he could not import the vehicle because he had spent the money on a more pressing matter.<\/p>\n
The matter has been adjourned to February 21, 2024.<\/p>\n
