Attorney-General Godfred Dame has promised customers of the now-defunct Menzgold that they will get justice as the state re-strategises to face Nana Appiah Mensah aka NAM1 in court.
Speaking recently at the 40th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime at the University of Cambridge in the UK, he said NAM1's scam brought misery and distress to many Ghanaians.
According to him, the fraud by the CEO of Menzgold almost caused a social crisis in the country characterised by intense riots and demonstrations.
