The High Court has ordered the Ghana Police Service to deliver directly to Kwabena Adu Boahen and other defendants, all the information in their possession in respect of a BMW 740D with chasis number WBA21EJ020CM11428.
The prosecution brought up questions of the said vehicle to prove to the court that the former Signals Bureau Director had failed to declare his assets while in public office, and that he was also allegedly involved in the importation and sale of stolen vehicles.
Lawyer for Adu Boahen and two other defendants, Samuel Atta Akyea, was on bended knees before the court for the court to compel the Attorney-General to release the bill of lading and other documentation covering a stolen BMW vehicle allegedly imported into the country for sale by the former Signals Bureau Boss.
The lawyer said that information was crucial to the Defence of the accused persons but had been withheld by the prosecution.
The Deputy Attorney-General, Justice Srem Sai, however, pointed to the court that the information sought by Defence counsel was already before the court and could not be requested for.
He also said Kwabena Adu Boahen, being the importer of the said vehicle, was the proper person to provide the bill of lading, not the Attorney-General.
In its ruling, the court said since the Defence lawyer had openly voiced his mistrust of the Attorney-General, the order would be made on the the police service to provide all available information for the accused persons to be able to defend themselves.
The case was adjourned to Thursday, July 31, 2025.
Kwabena Adu Boahene, Angela Adjei Boateng, Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions Limited are facing 11 counts of conspiracy to commit crime, stealing, using public office for profit, money laundering and causing financial loss to the state.
They have all pleaded not guilty and are on bail.
