Former president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi has been formerly slapped with three charges including fraud.

A former member of the Association’s Executive Committee Abdulai Alhassan also faces two charges namely conspiracy to commit fraud and fraud.

Principal State Attorney Victoria Asiedua told an Accra High Court Wednesday that the two individuals executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on behalf of a non-existent company claiming to be attracting sponsorship for the Ghana Premier League.

They are further alleged to have demanded $12 million from the supposed investors promising to land them major contracts in Ghana.

This money the prosecution says Mr Nyantakyi said will be distributed as follows; $5 million for the President, $3 million for the Vice President, $2 million for the Roads and Highway’s Minister, $1 million dollars for his Deputy with the rest reserved for the Mr Nyantakyi and Mr Alhassan.

The former football administrator was in 2018 busted in a documentary using the name of the President to peddle falsehood.

Since the Tiger Eye PI documentary was broadcast in June 2018, government has been under pressure to take action against the main target of the investigations, Kwesi Nyantakyi.

The AG’s office in the documents filed in court list the charges against him as conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud and corruption by a public officer.

Mr Nyantakyi was admitted to bail in the sum of 1 million cedis with three sureties, one to be justified. Same conditions apply to Mr Alhassan.

They are also required to report every Friday at the police CID. The case has been adjourned to March 25 for case management conference.
