An Accra High Court has directed that proceedings in the criminal trial of Nana Appiah Mensah, the embattled former CEO of defunct gold dealership firm Menzgold, be conducted virtually.
The decision was communicated to his legal team today after the court received a medical excuse from the accused.
According to the note from his doctor, Mr Mensah has been advised to refrain from “maximal physical exertion,” prompting the shift to electronic hearings.
NAM1 is currently standing trial on multiple charges, including defrauding by false pretence, operating a gold trading business without a licence, and money laundering.
He has pleaded not guilty to all counts and remains on bail.
The case forms part of a long-running prosecution linked to the collapse of Menzgold, which allegedly defrauded thousands of customers.
The High Court has previously directed him to open his defence as proceedings continue.
