The Attorney-General, Dominic Ayine, has officially withdrawn all charges against Johnson Asiama, the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), concerning his alleged involvement in the collapse of UniBank and UT Bank.
Asiama, along with several others, had been facing a range of charges including fraudulent breach of trust, money laundering, conspiracy to commit crime, and violations of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Act since 2020.
In the case of the collapse of UT Bank, the second deputy governor was charged alongside five others, including the bank’s founder, Prince Kofi Amoabeng. The other accused persons were Raymond Amanfu, UT Holdings Ltd., Catherine Johnson, and Robert Kwesi Armah.
n the UniBank case, however, former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, his son Dr. Kwabena Duffuor II—who was the CEO of UniBank before its collapse—and other executives of the bank were also charged with money laundering.
