The High Court in Accra has directed William Ato Essien, the founder of the defunct Capital Bank, to open his defence in the case brought against him for his alleged role in the collapse of the bank.
Mr. Essien and three other former top executives of the collapsed entity; Fitzgerald Odonkor, Tetteh Nettey and Kate Quartey-Papafio — have been charged with 26 counts of criminal offences, including stealing and defrauding by false pretences, for their respective roles in the collapse of the bank.
However, the court, at its sitting on Thursday, July 8, 2021, acquitted Kate Quartey-Papafio, describing her as only having acted “childishly” and not criminally.
