Interpol has claimed that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of embattled gold collectibles firm, Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah aka NAM1, allegedly defrauded customers of the company in excess of GH¢5.4 billion, dailyguidenetwork.com reports.
A document purportedly prepared by Interpol for the Dubai Police titled, ‘Interpol Red Alert,’ which is being used to hold NAM1, claimed NAM1 has been charged with defrauding by false pretences and money laundering.

However, there are discrepancies in the figure put out by Interpol since the GH¢5.4 billion quoted by Interpol does not appear to be an equivalent of $1.2 million, which is also listed by the international policing body.
Per the red alert, Interpol is asserting that NAM1 allegedly violated “Section 131 of Act 29/60 and Section 1 of Anti-money Act as amended (Act 874).

The arrest warrant, according to the alert, was issued on January 10, 2019 by a circuit court in Ghana and the maximum penalty possible, if NAM1 is convicted, would be 25 years.
In its summary of the facts of the case, Interpol indicated that “in December 2013, suspect Nana Appiah Mensah incorporated two companies namely Menzgold Ghana Limited and Brew Marketing Consult Limited,” adding that “his wife Rose Tetteh and sister Benedicta Appiah are directors of the companies.”
