The Court of Appeal has acquitted and discharged the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, who was standing trial for allegedly causing financial loss to the state of causing financial loss of €2.37 million to the state in an ambulance deal.
In a 2-1 majority decision today (July 30), the second highest court of the land held that the prosecution handling the case did not establish a prima facie case for the Minority Leader to answer.
Accordingly, the court held that there was no basis for the trial High Court to call Dr Forson to open his defence.
The court gave the decision today after it upheld an appeal by Dr Forson challenging the decision of the trial High Court to dismiss his submission of no case.
