Two Chinese nationals accused of dealing in gold without a license in Obuasi have been granted bail by an Accra High Court (Human Rights Division).

Liang Shao Kong and Qin Cal Yun, also accused of engaging in money laundering, were admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢500,000 with two sureties, one of whom must justify their means.

The accused were arrested by officials of the Ministry of National Security.

Previously, the accused persons had been brought before an Accra High Court, but their initial bail application was denied.
