Attorney General files application to set aside travel order granted to Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba
It is the position of the Attorney General that these material facts which were not before the Court when the travel order was made may materially influence the Court’s decision regarding itsorder granting leave for the first accused to travel outside the jurisdiction.
Facts deposed to in the affidavit in support of the Application reveal that the first accused allegedly attempted to rely on an order of a differently constituted High Court in separate proceedings to access funds held in Bank accounts that remain subject tovalid freezing orders obtained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO); an act which violates Section 37 of the Economic and Organised Crime Act, 2010 (Act804).
This attempted withdrawal occurred shortly before the first accused was due todepart Ghana, raising legitimate concerns regarding compliance with existing court orders,the integrity of the ongoing criminal proceedings and the risk that the accused may fail to return to stand trial if permitted to leave the jurisdiction.
