Former Ghana and Hearts of Oak striker Prince Tagoe jailed over a 4X4 Lexus $40,000 fraud

Prince Tagoe, a former striker for Ghana and Hearts of Oak, has been placed into legal detention until January 4, 2023.

Tagoe is accused of bilking George Antwi Boateng, a former Middlesborough player and current assistant coach of the Black Stars, out of $40,000.

Lawyer George Asamani, representing Tagoe, asked the court to release the ex-footballer on bail.

However, Chief Inspector Agartha Abena Asantewaa of the prosecution opposed the request, arguing that Tagoe poses a flight risk.
