Graphic confirms Jack Bebli is a suspect

The Crusading Guide in banner headline story, says for the first time since the highway gold robbery was reported, the Daily Graphic, has now confirmed the involvement of Regiment Sergeant-Major, Jack Bebli in its July 26th, 1999 edition.

The paper quotes the Graphic report as stating that sources close to the investigators told the paper (Graphic) that Jack Bebli, one of the suspects in the robbery case, had indicated to investigators that Kennedy Bebli, another suspect, informed him that the "Whiteman" on the bullion van came to his house with a soldier to pick four bars of gold on February 17, a day after the robbery.

The Graphic also produced a full text of a letter written to the Crusading Guide and some other media houses by one of the suspects, who hid under anonymity, alleging that, the suspects were sent by some top officials from the Castle, two MPs and two top police officers to execute the operation.

The paper continued that the writer stated that since the organisers of the robbery were top government officials, they promised to use their positions to protect them, but that is not what they are seeing now.

The paper concluded that the author of the letter challenged those who effected the arrest to dig out the truth, otherwise, they will let the cat out of the bag, for the Ghanaian public to know their names and deeds.
