A judge has stopped the trial of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng. They are accused of diverting $7 million meant for a cyber security project.
The court case has been paused because the defense lawyer filed a request. This request asks the court to stop proceedings during the legal vacation.
The lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, believes the court should not hear the case during this break. The judge is now considering this application.
A decision on the injunction must be made first. Only then will the main trial for the alleged diversion of funds continue.
The case involves a significant amount of money. It concerns a national cyber security project.
The Judicial Service has rules about court sittings during legal vacations. These rules are being examined in this situation.
