The defence in the ongoing trial involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene and others on Monday questioned Madam Mildred Donkor, third prosecution witness (PW3), over a series of bank transfer
The report indicates that the defence in the ongoing trial involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene and others on Monday questioned Madam Mildred Donkor, third prosecution witness (PW3), over a series of bank transfers reflected in documents before the court.
It further notes that during further cross-examination by Samuel Atta-Akyea, counsel for the accused persons, the witness was taken through transactions allegedly involving transfers from the accounts of Advantage Solutions Limited.
Counsel for the defence referred the witness to a transaction dated July 9, 2018, involving a transfer of GH¢1.7 million allegedly in favour of Mr Adu-Boahene.
Madam Donkor responded that, per the document shown to her, it indicated a transfer of GH¢1.7 million in favour of Adu-Boahene.
The witness was also referred to another transaction dated December 3, 2018, involving a transfer of GH¢402,000 to an account linked to Mr. Adu-Boahene.
She confirmed that the amount appeared on the face of the document presented to her in court.
Mr. Atta-Akyea suggested to the witness that the transfers, if effected by the bank, would naturally be reflected in Mr. Adu-Boahene’s account.
Madam Donkor maintained that the transactions were undertaken based on instructions she received and that the bank, not herself, generated the statements.
She told the court that whenever instructions were received from her superiors and acted upon, the resulting entries and statements were generated by the bank.
The defence further referred the witness to portions of Exhibit 7, where entries reflecting the GH¢1.7 million transaction and another credit entry of GH¢402,000 appeared.
The witness confirmed that they saw those entries on the document.
Counsel also drew attention to a transaction involving a transfer of GH¢1,650,000 to Fidelity Bank in favour of the Director of BNC Communications Bureau Limited.
Madam Donkor confirmed that the document reflected a “high value transfer” to Fidelity Bank linked to Adu-Boahene.
During proceedings, disagreement arose between Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General for the prosecution, and the defence over the interpretation of portions of the document.
