Republic Vrs Dompreh [2023] GHACC 244 (31 January 2023)
The plea of autrefois convict was rejected because the facts and offences in the previous conviction were different from those in the present case. The prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused dishonestly appropriated customer funds entrusted to him as a mobile banker, satisfying the elements of stealing under Ghanaian law.
