A circuit court in Accra has sentenced a former bank manager to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour. This follows his conviction for embezzling funds amounting to GH₵5 million.
The court made its decision after a lengthy trial that heard evidence in the case.
The former manager worked for a bank in Accra before the alleged crimes came to light.
Details of the embezzlement were presented during the trial proceedings.
The prosecution presented evidence showing the misuse of the bank's funds.
This verdict highlights the consequences of financial crimes committed by individuals in positions of trust.
The sentencing serves as a deterrent to others who might consider similar illegal activities.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentencing following the court's deliberation.
