Wontumi Exim Bank case adjourned over amended charge
The Accra High Court has adjourned the GH¢30 million Ghana Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank) case involving the convicted former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, to October 13.
The Accra High Court has postponed the GH¢30 million Exim Bank case involving former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, until October 13. The court's decision to adjourn the case was prompted by the prosecution filing an amended charge sheet. Prosecutors had originally accused Wontumi of uttering a forged document under Section 169 of the Criminal Offences Act.
However, the amended charge sheet now specifically mentions a pro-forma invoice from EPSONS GHANA LIMITED, which was allegedly forged. The amended charge sheet was filed on September 22 and includes additional counts of defrauding by false pretence, money laundering, and intentionally causing financial loss to a public body.
