Ghanaian socialite and musician Mona Faiz Montrage, widely known as Hajia 4Reall, is expected to be released today from the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia after serving a one-year and one-day prison sentence.
According to publicly available information from the US Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator the 32-year-old Ghanaian will be released on May 22, 2025.
Her sentence followed her conviction for conspiracy to receive stolen money in connection with a West Africa-based criminal enterprise involved in romance scams and internet fraud.
Montrage controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent proceeds. She was sentenced to three years of supervised release in addition to her prison term and was ordered to forfeit $216,475 and pay restitution of $1,387,458.
According to court filings, the sentencing judge approved a return timeline to Ghana proposed by her legal team. Her lawyers told the court that she was prepared to start afresh and contribute positively to society upon her return.
