- Faisal Moro is remanded for an alleged visa fraud
- Moro has been charged with defrauding by false pretenses
- Moro admitted to the offense
The Adenta Circuit Court has remanded Faisal Moro, a businessman, in connection with an alleged visa fraud case involving GH¢289,600.
Moro is accused of collecting the amount from individuals to provide them with German visas, which later turned out to be forged.
Two victims discovered the forgery when they presented the visas at the airport to travel abroad.
Moro has been charged with defrauding by false pretenses and has pleaded not guilty.
He claimed in court that he was trying to resolve the issue for the complainants to travel abroad but had not been given the chance.
The court, presided over by Mrs. Sedinam Awo Kwadam, has ordered the police to verify Moro’s place of abode and sureties for bail consideration and adjourned the case to June 11.
According to the prosecution, the complainant, Peter Kwabena Addai, was introduced to Moro as an agent who had secured visas for many people.
Moro agreed to assist in securing visas for some individuals, and Addai paid GH¢289,600 into Moro’s Cal Bank account.
However, when the individuals attempted to travel, their visas and tickets were discovered to be fake, and they were denied permission to travel. Moro admitted to the offense in his caution statement to the police.
