Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem Sai, has firmly dismissed claims circulating in some quarters that the Attorney-General’s Department has lost key evidence in the ongoing criminal trial of businessman and National Security operative, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and three others.
According to him, the prosecution’s case remains intact, with all supporting documents and testimonies properly filed before the courts.
Case Documentation
Justice Sai clarified that as of June 18, 2025, the Attorney-General’s office had already filed all documents it intends to rely upon to prosecute the case.
These documents, he explained, are extensive and include contracts of sale, bank wire transfer records, bank account statements, company registration papers, property ownership details, and purchase receipts.
He further listed INTERPOL records relating to stolen vehicles, investigative caution and charge statements of each accused person, evidence of asset non-declaration, and a detailed flow chart showing complex money movements through multiple bank accounts.
Additionally, testimonies from three prosecution witnesses form part of the evidence.
Defence Has Certified Copies
The Deputy Attorney General stressed that court-certified copies of all these documents had been duly served on the defence teams of the accused persons.
This, he argued, makes it practically impossible for the evidence to be misplaced or lost in a way that could undermine the prosecution’s case.
Current State of the Trial
The Republic v. Adu-Boahene trial, which has attracted significant public and media attention due to the financial and cross-border dimensions involved, began hearing testimonies earlier this year.
Before the legal vacation commenced on July 31, one of the three prosecution witnesses had completed testifying and was cross-examined by defence lawyers representing three of the four accused persons.
The trial is set to resume in mid-October 2025, when the courts return from the legal break.
Justice Sai assured the public that the Attorney-General’s office remains committed to prosecuting the case diligently and that suggestions of missing evidence are unfounded attempts to distract from the substantive issues at hand.
