An Accra High Court has ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP), to with immediate effect cease any disciplinary proceedings against former East Legon District Commander, DSP Emmanuel Basintale and four others, alleged to be involved in a gold scam.<\/p>\n
The order follows a judgment of the court exonerating the senior Police officer from complicity in the gold scam, involving a licensed US gold buying firm, Green Global Resources.<\/p>\n
The court also quashed all initial disciplinary actions taken against DSP Basintale.<\/p>\n
The five police officers were interdicted for the alleged unlawful seizure of\u00a013 gold bars from a gold buying firm.<\/p>\n
