The Attorney General added that government, therefore, has to wait for that time to elapse before it can take action.
Customers of Menzgold have been clamouring for the return of NAM1 to face prosecution charges and pay the dividends of investors.

Appiah Mensah was arrested in Dubai sometime in December 2018 in an alleged botched gold business with a Ghanaian company, one of whose officials was known to him.
He is said to have landed in Dubai hoping to retrieve some $39 million owed Menzgold by the Dubai-based company, Horizon Royal Diamonds DMCC, for the supply of gold when he was arrested.
