Ghana's police services and the Bureau for Combating Organized and Economic Crime (EOCO) said Menzgold's current wartime CEO would be available in the country after final determination of his case in Dubai.

Nana Appiah Mensah's popular name is NAM1, a joint statement from Public Affairs Police Service, ACP David Eklu and EOCO's Executive Director, Abu Issah, who announced Friday that she was facing criminal charges in the United Arab Emirates.

This was uncovered after a delegation of police security officers, EOCO, National Security and Deputy Attorney General went to Dubai, where NAM1 was arrested since December 7, 2018.

The mandate of the delegation was to determine the nature of the legal proceedings against NAM1 in the United Arab Emirates, as well as the most appropriate means by which Ghana can keep it to badist it within the framework of the case. an investigation involving Menzgold.

An Accra circuit court issued an arrest warrant against him on Jan. 9 and also alerted Interpol.

Nana Appiah Mensah is wanted for defrauding false pretense and for money laundering. This is after his company, Menzgold, failed to pay the return on investment of thousands of customers.

There has been commotion among customers since September 2018, when the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered its company to discontinue its gold trading business.

Even though state security arrested Mr. Appiah Mensah, this arrest was not known until the announcement of his escape two weeks ago.

NAM1 was on bail, but nevertheless managed to escape security to travel to Dubai – a feat that fueled nascent conspiracy theories.

According to the statement, "Previously, he was cooperating with EOCO in his investigations into a possible offense constituting a violation of the 2016 Bank and Depository Institutions Act, 2016 (Law 930), which had been reported by the Bank of Ghana. . "

"After a breakdown in cooperation, EOCO used other strategies, including the use of collaborators and collaboration with other security agencies, to make it available for further investigation. At the same time, a person from the United Arab Emirates used similar methods to get Mr. Mensah to go to the United Arab Emirates, where he was later apprehended, "he added.

The arrest in the United Arab Emirates, a member of Interpol, however, relates to a different incident, although the same gold trade takes place.

In the meantime, NAM1 reportedly provided a detailed statement to the officers who visited it in Dubai in order to facilitate investigation and follow-up.

EOCO and the police department said they would pursue investigations and processes to solve Ghana's problem while complying with established procedures.
