Finder Sports is reliably informed by deep-throat sources at the Attorney General's office that the government is not abandoning its efforts to sue former boss of the Ghana Football Federation, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who allegedly defrauded false pretenses.

It has been almost a year since the former boss of the FA was captured on a tape in an infiltration operation by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his team PI Tiger Eye in a documentary entitled "Number 12".

In this video, the boss of the FA had promised to underground journalists who pretended to be commercial investors, that he would give them unhindered access to the office of the president and other senior government officials. They (the businessmen) could pay bribe about $ 12 million.

When the documentary aired in June of last year, the President was furious at the false statement of his person. He immediately asked the security agencies to arrest Mr. Nyantakyi.

Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was out of the country at the time, was declared wanted and was taken to the Criminal Investigation Department of the police when he arrived in the country a few days after the broadcast of the documentary.
However, it seems that the case has become cold with many people in the dark about the state and progress of the case.

Last week, Godfred Dame, Deputy Attorney General, stated that the current corruption laws only apply to civil servants and therefore, football officials who are private persons can not be prosecuted, gave the impression that Mr. Nyantakyi would be released.

But our sources say that even though Nyantakyi is doing well with the corruption charges against him, he may not be as lucky with the accusation of fraud and fraud by false pretenses.

"People misunderstand general comments made by Alternate General AG that Nyantakyi can never be prosecuted for an offense.

But I told you that for the $ 60,000 that he took and the related behavior of representing businessmen supposed that he could connect them to the president, the representative is preparing a file for Accuse him of fraud. This is different from the corruption charge, "said our reliable source.
