FBI Will Come After You – US Prosecutor To Hajia 4Reall’s Team Members

The Federal Bureau of Investigation will look for those involved in the romance scam saga, according to lawyer Ebenezer Apiagyei, a US-based prosecutor and Supreme Court attorney.

He claims that those responsible should not assume that they are going unnoticed and that instead they will be apprehended when the time is right and all investigations have been completed.

You cannot fraudulently defraud American citizens and escape punishment, without a doubt. Even though they haven’t arrived at your time, you may still be under investigation. Eight of the individual businesses that were under investigation from 2014 to 2018 were indicted in 2020. You are aware that they looked into this person from 2013 to 2019. As a prosecutor, I can tell you that there is enough evidence against them to prevent a trial, he said.

Background of the Case

The United States Attorney’s Office confirmed in a statement on May 15, 2023 that Ghanaian social media influencer Mona Faiz Montrage, also known as Hajia4Reall, is formally the target of a six-count charge in a Manhattan Federal Court.

The socialite was extradited from the UK to the US after it was claimed she defrauded older, single American men and women out of over US$2 million in a romance scam.

The statement claims that on Monday, May 15, 2023, Mona4Reall appeared in court for her alleged participation in a number of schemes that preyed on vulnerable people who were living alone.

According to the New York Post news portal, the socialite entered a not guilty plea to the allegations and will be released soon on a $500,000 bond with GPS monitoring through an ankle monitor.

Mona is accused of wire fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen property, and conspiracy. Her attorney, Adam Cortez, confirmed to The Post that Mona received money from several other victims of con artists in her network.

Montrage could spend up to 20 years behind bars if found guilty of the most serious charge.

She was associated with a group of con artists from West Africa from at least 2013 to 2019 according to court documents.

Under false pretenses, such as helping move gold into the US from abroad, ending fictitious FBI investigations, or receiving payments to assist phony US Army officers in Afghanistan, the con artists would persuade victims to send money to them.

Thanks to the efforts of our law enforcement partners, Montrage was apprehended abroad and brought to the United States to face justice, Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement obtained by the New York Post. For helpless victims, these scams can be devastating financially and emotionally.

Until her case is resolved, Cortez said his client is only permitted to travel in specific areas of New York and New Jersey.
