The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by the Attorney-General. The application aimed to stop the release of former MASLOC CEO Christine Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu from prison.
The Attorney-General's office had asked the court to put a hold on her acquittal. This would have kept her in jail longer.
However, the court has now struck out the application as withdrawn. This decision allows for the immediate effect of her acquittal.
The former MASLOC CEO was previously acquitted of charges. The details of the original charges were not restated in the court's decision today.
This withdrawal means the legal efforts to keep her detained have ended. She is now free to be released from prison custody.
The Judicial Service confirmed the withdrawal of the application.
