The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has frozen the bank accounts of Nana Appiah Mensah, CEO of gold dealership firm\u00a0Menzgold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n Office according to sources is also working towards being granted a \ncourt order which will allow it to seize all other assets of the CEO who\n is popularly known as NAM1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government\n on Monday dispatched a high powered delegation to the United Arab \nEmirates capital, Dubai to see to the extradition of NAM1 who according \nto the police was arrested after a gold deal gone wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say the fugitive was arrested on December 7, more than a month after the Circuit Court issued a warrant<\/strong><\/a> for his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAM1 is wanted for defrauding by false pretence and allegations of money laundering for failing to pay clients\u2019 investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many\n believe he has absconded with the monies, leaving customers agitated \nand uncertain what will happen to the millions of cedis locked up with \nthe company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EOCO has succeeded in freezing his accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\n may come as good news but Joy News is also learning from the lawyer for\n the aggrieved customers, Amanda Clinton that most of the accounts have \nalready been depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is also another emerging narrative that may make the State\u2019s case against NAM1 difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n company\u2019s Communications Director Nii Armah Amateifio told Joy News \nlast week his boss has not absconded but has only left the shores of the\n country in search of money to pay the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
