A Ghanaian woman has been sentenced by a US Court to 70 months in prison for conspiring to launder millions of dollars of fraud proceeds from business email compromises and romance scams.
Mensah was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to forfeit $202,964 and pay restitution of $1,505,519 to victims.
Deborah Mensah was extradited from Ghana to the United States on August 21, 2020. She pled guilty to conspiring to commit money laundering on April 2, 2021.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “Deborah Mensah was a member of an international criminal enterprise that stole millions of dollars from businesses and vulnerable individuals across the United States, and laundered that money through a network of bank accounts in the Bronx. Having previously been extradited from Ghana, Deborah Mensah has now been sentenced to a term in a U.S. prison for her crime.”
