An Indian national, Shama, has been sentenced to five years in prison by the Amasaman Circuit Court. He was found guilty of printing counterfeit money.
The court heard that Shama printed millions of fake Ghana cedis and US dollars. This illegal activity was discovered and led to his arrest.
Prosecutors presented evidence to the court showing the large scale of the operation. The fake currency represented a significant threat to the economy.
The presiding judge handed down the sentence after considering the evidence and the seriousness of the crime. The sentence reflects the gravity of counterfeiting.
Shama will serve his sentence in a Ghanaian prison. This action serves as a warning against financial crimes.
