Weve gone too far as a nation. We have become too money-driven. How much will you eat, how many houses will you live in, how many cars? What of your dignity and self-respect? Money is, indeed, the root of all evil. A young MP. Some of your classmates are still hustling for jobs to earn a little. If what you earn as MP is not enough for you, disgrace and imprisonment will follow. Share the results with your family and those who had a share. Pray the story is not true.

Money laundry is basically “washing” money gotten from illicit or illegal means . So if you are arrested for money laundering, you are directly connected to the means by which that money was gotten. If you launder money gotten from cocaine, you are connected to cocaine business. If you wash money gotten from sale of arms , you are connected to the illegal arms dealing syndicate . This MP is funny. Saying he was arrested for money laundering and not romance scam; lol

Money laundaring could be as simple as improperly and secretely moving clean or dirty money accross financial barriers without accountability. Lack of accountability is what makes the money laundered.

But this OF man is directly connected to and is a member of a 27-man gang. So it is not only laundering, but member of a criminal gang.

Whatever definition, money laundering is crime.

My own bank account closed my account was closed after I accepted an 'aduro' woman to deposit her money (she was getting from illegal work) into my account. After she deposited two consecutive times, the bank called me to their office and told me they had got order from their headquarters that I should withdraw any money from the account and they should close that account - with immediate effect. I asked why and the said I'm laundering money.

So you know the implication: to me the money was clean because I had not stolen money, dealt in any illicit business...

As he has confirmed of Money Laundering charges, it means two things, either the case involving 27 people listed which had 26 arrested before him with 4 Ghanaian including him on it and the rest being Nigerians origin which started from Chicago, Illinois USA, or his Money Transfer firm Company had a problem. One thing about this guy is , he is involved in so many businesses, he has more than 20 businesses including selling Charcoal, From Restaurants in Chicago USA, FM stations famous one being Salt City, to Okada, so many businesses you can think of . He really works hard for his money but the initial source of the wealth always seems to be unsure of .

So interpol in Ghana didn't notice a warrant had been issued for his arrest, but watched him to leave Ghana just for him to be arrested in the Netherlands. Or the government in Ghana didn't want to be blamed. Once any interpol in any country issues a warrant for the arrest of someone, it appears in the security and immigration database of all member countries. This is a typical of "me deɛ me mmo wo, na obi ɛbo woa na me ngye wo.I won'tbeat you, but I win sit and watch when someone else is beating you"

Ghana has an Anti-money Laundering Act designed to fight corruption.Stealing,fraud,bribery etc,all these are done behind closed doors but the gains from these suspected crimes àre utilised especially in acquisitions of property and other luxurious items which will then come to the notice of the law. The law is seldom applied in Ghana where high rise buildings are springing up like mushrooms with nobody bothering to find out source of finance.
