Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem Sai has dismissed claims that the Attorney-General’s office has lost evidence in the ongoing criminal trial of the Republic v Adu-Boahene.
He insists that all relevant documents are intact and have already been filed.
“The Attorney-General’s office has not lost any evidence regarding the ongoing Republic v Adu-Boahene criminal trial,” he stated in a post on X on Thursday, August 28.
According to him, all supporting materials were filed before the court well in advance.
“As of June 18, we had filed all the documents which we intend to rely on to prove the charges against the 4 Accused Persons in the case.
“The documents include contracts of sale, bank wire transfer records, bank account statements, company registration documents, property ownership records and purchase receipts, INTERPOL stolen vehicle records, investigative caution statements and charge statements of each Accused Person, records of asset non-declaration, a flow chat of money movements through a complex web of bank accounts, and testimonies of our 3 witnesses.”

He further stressed that the accused persons have already been served with certified copies of the evidence.
“Court-certified copies of each of these documents have been duly served on each of the Accused Persons. So, it is not even realistic that the documents could be lost so as to jeopardise the prosecution of the case.”
On the progress of the trial, Justice Srem Sai confirmed that proceedings had already begun before the legal vacation.
“Before the start of the legal vacation on July 31, the first of our 3 prosecution witnesses had completed testifying and had been cross-examined by the lawyers of 3 of the 4 Accused Persons.”
He noted that the trial is set to continue later this year.
“The trial will resume in earnest in mid-October when the courts return from the legal vacation.”
