An Accra Circuit Court has acquitted and discharged two individuals, Silvia Naa Doudu Wristberg and Nicodemus Quarshie, who had been accused of defrauding a businessman of GH¢60,380.

The court, presided over by Isaac Addo, found that the prosecution had failed to establish its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

As a result, the two defendants were cleared of charges related to conspiracy and defrauding by false pretences.

Silvia Wristberg, an unemployed woman, and Nicodemus Quarshie, a radio presenter, were accused alongside a third individual, Patrick Torto, who remains at large.
