Recently, a transcript from the legal proceedings involving Ghanaian socialite and musician, Hajia4Real, has surfaced on various social media platforms.
According to the transcript, Hajia4Real disclosed that she had received money from an unidentified partner in connection with a criminal activity in the Bronx, New York.
Hajia4Real explained that she was instructed to deposit the money into her Ghanaian account and ensure its withdrawal, as her accomplices would later retrieve it.
While admitting that she was aware the money was acquired unlawfully, Hajia4Real claimed she was unaware it stemmed from fraudulent activities.
“Your Honor, between 2013 and 2019 in the Bronx, New York, and elsewhere, I conspired with others to receive 5,000 or more in stolen funds, knowing that the money had been unlawfully obtained,” she said.
“Did you know that the money had been unlawfully obtained,” the judge (THE COURT) asked.
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: What did you do with the money after you received it?
THE DEFENDANT: I was told to transfer it to Ghana and then take out the cash, and they would come for it.
THE COURT: Did you transfer some of the money
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, I did.
THE COURT: When you joined the conspiracy, did you know that the conspiracy was to obtain money unlawfully from other people
THE DEFENDANT: In the beginning, I didn’t know.
THE COURT: But later on you came to know that the purpose of this agreement was to obtain money?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
