The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has confirmed that eleven foreigners are currently standing trial for their alleged involvement in a counterfeit US dollar printing operation.
The suspects were arrested on January 5, 2026, during a raid in Tuba, located in the Ga South Municipality.
The operation was carried out by the Anti-Human Trafficking and Cyber Fraud Taskforce Unit of the Weija Sector Command.
Authorities seized equipment believed to be used in the illicit scheme, including bundles of fake notes, photocopiers, laptops, and a router.
Weija Sector Commander, Chief Superintendent Richard Coffie, announced that investigations are complete and the prosecution is underway.
He also revealed that between January and March 2026, the command rescued 42 additional foreign nationals who were allegedly trafficked into the country for cyber fraud.
Commander Coffie attributed the successful operations to intelligence-led efforts and announced plans to establish a specialised unit to combat human smuggling networks.
