Charles Bissue will face court again on June 10 for his trial about illegal mining corruption. His partner Thomas Andy Owusu already received punishment after admitting guilt Wednesday. The Accra High Court accepted a deal that let Owusu avoid a longer trial. He paid fines and gave money back to the government for his crimes. The case started from a 2019 investigation that caught both men selling mining permits illegally.
Bissue worked as secretary for the government committee that fights illegal mining operations. Prosecutors say he used his government position to make personal money from corrupt deals. Tiger Eye PI investigators filmed both men helping illegal miners skip official licensing steps. The evidence showed them taking bribes to approve mining permits that should have been denied. Owusu worked for Chairman Wontumi and helped arrange the corrupt transactions between officials and miners.
