En Huang, alias Aisha Huang, a Chinese galamsey queen arrested for engaging in illegal mining will be put before an Accra Circuit Court today, Wednesday.
She is to answer charges preferred against her in relation to illegal mining.
Aisha, who was deported in 2018 for allegedly engaging in illegal mining, is currently facing two fresh charges.
She is being held on the charges of sale and purchase of minerals in without license and engaging in illegal mining.
However, information gathered by DGN Online indicates that fresh charges will likely be preferred against her when she appears before the court.
It is also likely the A-G will discontinue the case at the Circuit Court and commence trial at the High Court as was done in Aisha’s previous case.
At the last sitting, the court presided over by Samuel Bright, could not take her plea because the court did not have a Chinese interpreter.
She is expected to stand trial together with three other accomplices, namely Johng Li Hua, Huang Jei and Huaid Hun.
The three accomplices, who were without legal representation, had pleaded not guilty to the charge of engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals without a license.
Aisha after her deportation, re-entered Ghana in 2022 through Togo and allegedly engaged in illegal mining at Bepotenten in the Amansie West, Ashanti Region.
The Office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice has indicated it would take over the prosecution of Aisha’s previous and current cases in court.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo has declared his support for the A-G in prosecuting Aisha and her accomplices.
