Businessman Kofi Boateng got ten days from an Accra court to collect papers for his fight against going to America. The judge said he could gather business records after his lawyers asked for more time. Kofi Boat runs a frozen food company across Ghana and wants to prove his money came from legal work. His legal team first wanted two weeks but the court cut it down. The Deputy Attorney General pushed for less time during the hearing.
Police grabbed Kofi Boat and two other men on June 13 when Interpol worked with American FBI agents. Authorities claim the three men stole one hundred million dollars through fake emails and romance tricks. One suspect goes by the name Agony and the third person remains unnamed. All three face serious charges for tricking people out of their money. The arrest came after months of investigation between different countries.
Kofi Boat says the accusations are wrong and the money amount is false. His lawyers argue the real figure is closer to three hundred thousand dollars from honest business deals. The suspect remains locked up with Ghana's National Investigations Bureau. His wife helps put together all the documents they need for court. American prosecutors filed charges against him back in May 2023 for wire fraud and money washing crimes.
