Ace Anan Ankomah, a renowned justice practitioner, has denied allegations of involvement in the Menzgold and Horizon Royal Diamonds scandal.

According to Ankomah in a statement, his law firm, Bentsi-Enchill, Letsa and Ankomah (BELA), was only hired by a lawyer based in Dubai on behalf of an UAE company.

"The work instruction did not mention or relate to either Menzgold or Nana Appiah Mensah. Neither the firm nor myself were involved in any incidents that occurred in Dubai several months after we received the instructions, "the statement said.

The statement explains that BELA had been instructed to continue the process when the Dubai incidents relating to the Accra case and the Dubai case were separate and unrelated.

"The client did not ask for our opinion on the Dubai incidents and we did not submit any. Every document or piece of evidence we received from the client and that was intended for the police we handed over to the investigator of the Commercial Crime Unit of the Police, Chief Inspector Wisdom Semanu, "the statement said.

Ace Anan Ankomah also denied allegations that former Dr. KK Amoah, the former director of EOCO, would be his uncle. "He is a fellow lawyer and I know him very well because we have the same hometown. I also consider him an older friend, as he regards me as his superior at the bar, "he said.
