State prosecutors at the High Court have filed fresh charges against Patience Botwe, the former housemaid of former Minister for Sanitation, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, and seven other individuals.

They are accused of stealing various sums of money, including $1 million, 300,000 euros, and other properties from the former minister's home.

Since July 6 of this year, they have been undergoing legal proceedings at the Circuit Court while investigations were ongoing.

During a recent hearing, DSP Emmanuel Nyamekye, a police prosecutor, informed the court that a new charge sheet had been submitted to the High Court.

He stated that once a hearing date is assigned, they will withdraw the case from the Circuit Court and continue with proceedings at the High Court.

The case has been adjourned to November 8, 2023, to allow the Prosecution to withdraw the case from the Circuit Court. All accused persons were present in court, with the exception of the eighth accused, who remains at large.

Patience Botwe and the other seven individuals are facing provisional charges of conspiracy, dishonestly receiving, and related offenses.
