Money Laundering: Stop The Public Prosecution; Put Your Info On A Charge Sheet- Wontumi’s Lawyer Tells Srem Sai
Council for Chairman Wontumi, Andy Appiah-Kubi, has cautioned Justice Srem Sai to stop the public prosecution of his client and put every information he has on a charge sheet.
His caution comes on the back of a social media post by the deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice (AG) that Chairman Wontumi has been detained by EOCO because he is a suspect in a separate investigation tied to a wider international organised crime network.
“Suspect BERNARD ANTWI BOASIAKO, a.k.a. Chairman Wontumi, is under investigation for various criminal offences (including fraud, causing financial loss to the State, and money laundering),” the Deputy AG stated.
Lawyer Andy Appiah-Kubi reacted by telling Kwaku Dawuro on Movement TV that “I wonder why he is out there saying this. It should be on the charge sheet. If you bring someone to the public space to prosecute him… this isn’t the right thing to do”.
He indicated that as deputy AG, Srem Sai has the responsibility “to protect the right of citizens”.
“Even if he has the intelligences, he has to put it on the charge sheet and give him the space to respond before it comes to public space”, he advised.
He urged the deputy AG to stop “undermining” the human rights of Chairman Wontumi.
Politicizing the issue by the AG, were also needless in his view.
