The courts heard new claims against Angela Adjei Boateng last Friday. She allegedly tried to hide evidence when she learned police had arrested her husband. Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai told everyone that Angela scattered suitcases full of money right after finding out about her husband Kwabena Adu-Boahene going to jail. Security cameras caught her actions between the time she heard about the arrest and the next morning.
Prosecutors cited these facts to argue against better bail terms for the couple. They believe letting either person out creates two big problems: First, they might run away before trial, and second, they could mess with more evidence needed for the case. Justice Srem Sai mentioned these concerns directly during court arguments on March 28.
This case has grabbed public attention because Kwabena held the important job of National Signals Bureau Director-General before everything fell apart. Both husband and wife face serious corruption charges already. The money suitcases add another layer to their legal troubles at a bad time for their defense team.
The judge must decide whether keeping strict bail rules makes sense based on this new information. Prosecutors say yes because Angela already tried to interfere once when she thought nobody was watching. They worry what might happen if courts give the couple more freedom before the trial moves forward. This revelation makes an already complicated legal battle even harder for the defense.
