The Sales and Marketing Manager of DPS Industries Limited has been dragged to the Dansoman Circuit Court for allegedly investing the company's GH¢491,000 in casino and online sports betting. According to court documents, Depak Sonar, who had been accused of dishonestly appropriating GH¢681,000 from the company used the GH¢491,000 for the investment while using the remaining GH¢190,000 to settle personal debts.
Sonar has, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing when he appeared before the court presided over by Halimah El-Alawa Abdul-Baasit yesterday. Counsel for the accused, Osman Muhaideen, prayed to the court to grant his client bail.
The accused was subsequently admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢700,000 with three sureties (to be justified) and earning not less than GH¢5,000.
Per the bail conditions, all the sureties must be public servants residing within the jurisdiction. The court has also ordered Sonar to deposit his passport at the court's registry and report to the police once every two weeks.
