A circuit court in Accra on Friday remanded Alhaji Briamah Suleman, aka Alhaji Hearts, a board member of Accra Hearts of Oak Football Club and another on charges of conspiracy, concealment of currency, and aiding and abetting money laundering.
The court did not take the pleas of Alhaji Hearts and Ahmed Tijani. They will reappear on August 20.
Sources say on August 8, this year, airline security conducted a random search on the crew on board a Ghana International Airline flight which had arrived from London.
During the search, 59,870 pounds was found in two bags belonging to an airhostess, Ewurasi Claribell.
Ewurasi failed to disclose who gave her the money so she was handed over to personnel of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).
When she was quizzed, she disclosed that the money belonged to one George who informed her that someone in Accra would call her and come for the money.
But soon after Ewurasi was put before court and remanded Alhaji Hearts and Tijani went to the BNI claiming ownership of the money. The two were therefore put before court on Friday.
