In a major intelligence-led operation, the Ghana Police Service has arrested 487 individuals suspected of involvement in the QNET Ponzi scheme.
The arrests occurred on Monday, September 2, 2024, in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
The suspects, including 257 females and 230 males, were detained at a residence in Adwuman, near Kenyasi, a suburb of Kumasi.
Initial investigations suggest that these individuals were involved in deceiving victims across the country with promises of high returns on investments through the QNET scheme.
The police seized various exhibits during the operation, including registration documents and materials bearing QNET logos, further linking the suspects to the fraudulent scheme.
Twelve key executives of the operation have been identified among the arrested: Gyereh Evelyn, Francis Kpesah, Samuel Musah, Simon Yakubu, Thomas Kotual, Kwasi Nyabi, Benjamin Nsigma, Elijah Musah, Moses Katu, John Balabon Tagnakibi, James Nogma, and Fidelis Bang-ib.
They are currently in police custody and assisting with ongoing investigations.
The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to stay vigilant against such schemes and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
