Court adjourns GH¢30m EXIM Bank fraud case involving Chairman Wontumi over plea bargain talks
An Accra High Court has adjourned proceedings in the alleged GH¢30 million EXIM Bank fraud case involving Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, to July 27, 2026, to allow ongoing plea bargain negotiations to continue.
The case was called on Monday, July 6, after the court had earlier directed the Attorney-General’s Office and lawyers for Chairman Wontumi to return and brief the court on the progress of discussions.
When the case resumes on July 27, both the prosecution and the defence are expected to update the court on whether a plea agreement is close to being reached or whether the trial will proceed.
