Don't expose your ignorance. Money follows due process before it leaves the country. If he had gone through the process, no one would dare touch his money. You would have to declare the source of the money during due process, so trying to smuggle the money out of town leads to suspicion of illicit business. This is way above kabokabo level of thinking.

$400k is less than Ghs 160k. Woyome stole Ghs 51.2M and he has a lawyer. There is nothing to suggest that he got this money illegally too. Imoro Alhassan is walking free on our streets with Ghs 900k to pay. Ataa Ayi also had legal representation despite the enormity of his crimes. In America it is illegal to carry more than Ghs 10k on you at any given time. Is it so in Ghana? If it is, why didn't they arrest the Black Stars player when they arrived from Brazil because they carried chunks of money on them on arrival? In my books Afenyo is only responding to his calling.

Francisca, have you ever travelled with more than 10k dollars before? I think we have too many incompetent officials working for the state.
Now if you are a resident in the country you're flying, 10k dollars is given to you for your trip and the rest of the money is kept with the custom where a receipt is given to you to state that you have your money with them. When you return from your trip a fine is paid on the money that was taken from you and you can also be questioned.
You can only arrest when you have enough evidence to prove that the money was obtained from an illegal business.

There is nothing like celebrated solicitors in instances when the law reinforcement agencies need to do their job. One could be acquitted and discharged on one charge but could face other charges. lt don't really matters where the arrest takes place. Not until the law makers themselves abide by their own rules they requested for the ordinary citizens to follow up, total anarchy is going to be loosened upon our country and things are bound to fall apart. I once had just two bottles of madingo bitters but one was confiscated by the the customs officers at our own Kotoka so called International Airport which is not comparable to my local airport in the UK.
All said and done, I took it in good faith to follow the rules of our law makers. I wonder why Afenyo Markins is expressing his disappointment at the arrest of his client.
What Afeyno needs to know is that, law do not have respect for self styled celebrated solicitors who are in the actual sense been remote controlled by their political affiliations This learned Efutu boy from Winneba once called his own brother- in- law a batty boy or a gay in front of the television camera on one of the television stations in Ghana during a political debate.
Characteristically, Afenyo is well known in dubious activities more than what is required of him as as a qualified solicitor.

The Judge is definitely corrupt. No wonder the US UK etc don't trust Ghanaians one bit. The Judiciary is CORRUPT to the core. Rotten If I may say. Rotten

Why would a person be a member of Parliament and a practicing lawyer at the same time. Isn't this a conflict of interest issue.

What is wrong with our judges.Are they there for the rich .how come somebody carried $400k through the airport.
What is wrong with our judges.Are they there for the rich .how come somebody carried $400k through the airport.
What the lawyer did was obstruction of justice.They guy stepped out of the court room so can be arrested by law.
You Afenyo-Markin, you yourself should have been arrested on the spot for extortion of money from ADB.
Ghana is now lawless Isn't the same airport they carried 3 million dollars through to Brazil?
Why arrested and confistacated an amount of 400K?
World is watching us
You can go truth the airport with money declared to the due authorities not hidden
Don't expose your ignorance. Money follows due process before it leaves the country. If he had gone through the process, no one would dare touch his money. You would have to declare the source of the money during due process, ...

They have probably used tye money and have no means of giving it back, that is why they have arrested him so they can prolong the case
That is an awful lor of money to be carrying about on internationial trips. Did he declare the money to immigration officers ?

Immigration officers all over the world would suspect something illegal if you carry such an amount on you when traveling.Why shd Afenyo Markins handle such a case?Is it bcos of his share?NPP shd talk to this guy.
That is what Ghana has become,the judicial system,the corrupt judges will always release the person or the money confiscated from the criminals.
$400k is less than Ghs 160k. Woyome stole Ghs 51.2M and he has a lawyer. There is nothing to suggest that he got this money illegally too. Imoro Alhassan is walking free on our streets with Ghs 900k to pay. Ataa Ayi also had ...

Oh Ghana where is the Rule of Law? You took the money from the person,he has gone to Court and arrest him within the Court premises.Is Ghana becoming a Lawless Country?
Once he stepped outside the court room, he could be arrested. Please note that he was arrested at the court premises but not the court room. Learn the law before you make your comment otherwise you will look stupid
But what was his crime for the arrest???
Ask the writer....
Probably for carrying the money without declaring and paying taxes on it. If he was caught outside no judge will let him go without him paying a huge penalty.
It's already a lawless country.
The judicial system has collapsed.
Afenyo always with money stories. I'm beginning to suspect him now. Very sad, Ghanaian politicians!!
He is a brilliant lawyer that's why clients request for his services.
Afenyo is a top coperate lawyer that's why his clients are big. coperate lawyers always deal with financial issues.
Even those who assisted the drug lady arrested in London were set free in Ghana. Why treat the man like a criminal for carrying money. How many of our traders don't carry more than that amount in Ghana. Release his money to h ...

BUT THE MAN WAS NOT EVEN ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT WITH DRUGS, SO DOES CARRYING A LOT OF MONEY MAKE YOU A DRUG DEALER?
RAYMOND NASH, please, what is the minimum or maximum amount of cash one need to carry flying in/out Ghana?
You declare if it is above $10,000, This is internal law and applies everywhere.
An order of a court is an order and must be respected. The law and order enforcement in the country has realy put the state into a banana repulic.
These lawyers want to re-write laws and orders in Ghana.
Since the money involved was dollars the judge took 10% of it. ($40,000)
And where was NACOB when Ghana took USD3,000,000.00 to Brazil? And became a laughing stock by the international media
Age yo Marlins is a hungry street thug masquerading as a lawyer. Tweeeeah
Did the man declare he was carrying $ 400,000 out of the country to Ghana Customs at the airport and what was the source , and what was the use and the destination of the $ 400,000. There are FX regulations that have to be f ...

the minimum amount to carry is $10000 and need to be declared and failure, consification,
Confiscated on site, if not declared officially. But need to be returned with a fine; Once the fine is settled you are good to go with your money ok..!
No right thinking person knowing the laws governing anti money laundering will allow this to happen. No one above the law or below the law is allowed to even carry up to $10,000 or more. I am totally disappointed in the judge ...

We have too many people in Ghana who are just stupid as hell but think they know it all. Unfortunately, some of these fools are "educated". Call them the "Educated Fools".
law does not matter.
Where from the 400,000 US dollars? Have you given that a thought? If you care to know, anything in excess of 10,000 US dollars is subject to be seized by the state.
Francisca, have you ever travelled with more than 10k dollars before? I think we have too many incompetent officials working for the state.

GHANAWEB you like using old pictures of political figures too much.
How do you convince the upcoming generation that education is the key to success when we are surrounded by poor graduates and rich criminals?
NDC has captured NPP's campaign money and now NPP's eyes is red. Where are the NPP lawyers? Effa Dartey, Kwame Akufo, Egbert Faibelle, Nana Bediato, Gabby Okyere Darko, Philip Anderson, Ursula Owusu?
for God sake let stop this cheap journalism and politics. Afenyo Markin is a lawyer and this doesnt mean that he should be brought into this kind of issues. we happy to tarnish people reputations.
Terkper and Mahama clearly are panting like a fish on land for that money.
This is what happens when thieves parading as politicians run a country into the ground, desperation becomes the order of the day.
Did the man declare the huge sum of money he was travelling with? He wouldn't have been arrested otherwise;and a court ordered that the money should be released to him? Sometimes I wonder if the Human Rights Court protects th ...

WHERE IS THE $10,000 DOLLAR LIMIT LAW?
AND THE JUDGE ,A GOAT JUDGE???
NACOB is looking for money to help boost JDM campaign. This will die out because we are aware of how bias that security institution has become lately.
What law says in Ghana that one can only travel with 10K?
KWAME USA,DO YOU CARRY $10,0000 OUT OF THE USA ?
In the USA the limit is 10K by Law...
Does Ghana have a similar law? Just because USA have a 10K limit when traveling does not mean Ghana have the same laws!!!!!
The maximum is 5,000 US dollars. This chap had 400,000 US dollars, 80 times the permissible amount.
