COP Tiwaa Addo has revealed that, the government cannot prosecute the embattled Chief Executive Officer of gold dealership firm, Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah, a.k.a NAM1.
He was initially charged for money laundering and defrauding by false pretences by taking deposits without a licence, and has since been going in and out of courts, facing over 50 charges.
COP Tiwaa Addo-Danquah said the state had looked into prosecuting NAM1, but there is insufficient evidence to give rise to a realistic prospect of convicting him of any criminal offence arising from the circumstances of his Ponzi scheme activities.
But Lawyer Obiri Boahen speaking to the media revealed that, there are numerous charges that can be used to prosecute NAM 1.
According to him, some include money laundering, conspiracy etc than can be used.
He added that, he finds it baffle to hear such comments from COP Tiwaa Addo- Danquah stressing that, it is going to be bad for the country if they try to prosecute NAM1 though Nolle prosequi.
