The Accra High Court will on December 4, decide whether or not Aisha Huang is guilty of illegal mining charges against her. Justice Mrs. Lydia Osei-Marfo set the date after the prosecution and the defense notified the court about exchanging their final legal arguments.
Aisha Huang, has been accused of being a kingpin of illegal mining popularly known as galamsey, especially in the Ashanti Region.
She was deported from Ghana in 2018, after the Attorney-General decided to discontinue her trial in which she was accused of engaging in small-scale mining without license.
However, she was said to have sneaked back into Ghana to allegedly engage in the same activities for which she was deported.
Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, then decided to prosecute her for the alleged crimes before her deportation and new ones committed since her re-entry into Ghana.
The prosecution argued that Aisha had an illegal mining concession at Bepotenten in the Amansie West District of the Ashanti Region and also operated a mining support services company.
