Ten Chinese nationals accused of conspiring to smuggle gold have been denied bail by the Accra Circuit Court Nine.
The accused are Wu Cheng Wei, Tang Da Tien, Wang Chun Ling, Wei Dong, Li Fu Shou, Wei Sheng Xin, He Shi Long, Li Ren Neng, Fang Zhun Sheng, and Zheng Xi Chuang.
Wu and Zheng remain in police custody due to ill health, while the others are being held by the National Investigation Bureau despite bail applications by their lawyers.
They face additional charges including trading in gold without authority, hoarding gold, tax evasion, money laundering, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
