Judge Let Rosewood Queen Hang on His heels – Attorneys

Prosecutors insisted that, contrary to what Judge Twumasi Appiah claims, an indictment was before him at the material time, he ignored that decision.

State and police prosecutors said the judge had made the decision despite their protests.

The indictment read as follows: "Transport from the forest without a transport certificate, in violation of Rule 62 (1) of the 2017 Regulation LI 2254 on timber resource management and legality licenses ".

It was accompanied by a statement of offense detailing the case of the State against the woman arrested at the Vitin Barrier in the Northern Region while accompanying two containers of rosewood more than twenty feet.

In any case, the prosecutors claim that even though no charges were brought against the accused, they had already filed in court preliminary charges of possession of banned forest products on the basis of which the suspect had been released on bail – what she was startled.

They argued that if the judge intended it, he could have dismissed her on the basis of these charges instead of releasing her.

Huang Yafeng was released on bail after being released on bail after police investigation following his arrest.

The police put her on the wanted list and, after weeks of flight, she reappeared and was reported to the police, where she was arrested. His lawyers again asked to be released on bail.

But sources at the North District Attorney General's office told JoyNews that they had strongly advised against granting the queen of rosewood a new bail.

The lawyers were asked to ask the court to be released on bail, as it was going to be brought to justice.

"We quickly drafted an indictment and gave police prosecutors the opportunity to bring her to court," the source said.

The suspect was brought before the court of first instance, who was already hearing the case concerning the man who was surety for her, Mohammed Bondirgbum.

Judge Twumasi Appiah refused to hear the case, finding that prosecutors and forest officials had not initiated criminal proceedings against the suspect.

He ordered the Ghana Immigration Service to take over the case and investigate his visas and other travel documents in order to decide his fate.

The suspect was flown from Tamale to Accra and deported to China without prosecution.
