More trouble for Aisha Huang as Attorney General presses four more charges
The Attorney General’s Department has filed four more charges against notorious Chinese galamsey kingpin En Huang also known as Aisha Huang, over offences she committed between 2015 and 2017.
This is in line with a promise made by the Attorney General that his department would look into the 2018 docket for her previous offences after she was re-arrested for committing similar offences.
Her 2018 prosecution was truncated after a nolle prosequi was filed by the state and she was said to have been deported to her home country.
Today Friday, 16th September, the Principal State Attorney, Mercy Arthur, headed to the High Court and pressed four more charges against Aisha Huang.
The first charge is that she undertook a mining operation at Bepotenten in the Ashanti Region between 2015 and 2017 without a licence contrary to Section 99(2)(a) of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006, Act 703, as amended by the Minerals and Mining (Amendment) Act 2019, Act 995.
The second charge is facilitating the participation of four Chinese to mine at Bepotenten without a licence.
This also makes her fall foul of Ghana’s laws as she employed foreign nationals contrary to Section 24 of the Immigration Act, 2000, Act 573.
Finally, she re-entered Ghana contrary to Section 20(4) of the Immigration Act, 2000, Act 573.
She was arrested on Friday, 2nd September with three others who are facing two charges at an Accra Circuit Court. On 14th September they were remanded into police custody for another two weeks waiting to reappear on Tuesday, 27th September.
