It has been making rounds on social media that a transcript has been released from the legal proceedings involving the Ghanaian socialite and musician, Hajia4Real.
According to the transcript, Hajia4Real confessed to having received money from an accomplice, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, for a crime committed in the Bronx area of New York.
Hajia4Real has disclosed that she received instructions to transfer a certain amount of money into her Ghanaian bank account and then withdraw it to give it to her accomplices.
She admits being aware that the money was obtained illegally but was unaware of the fraudulent means through which it was acquired.
“Your Honor, between 2013 and 2019 in the Bronx, New York, and elsewhere, I conspired with others to receive 5,000 or more in stolen funds, knowing that the money had been unlawfully obtained,” she said.
“Did you know that the money had been unlawfully obtained,” the judge (THE COURT) asked.
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: What did you do with the money after you received it?
THE DEFENDANT: I was told to transfer it to Ghana and then take out the cash, and they would come for it.
THE COURT: Did you transfer some of the money
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, I did.
THE COURT: When you joined the conspiracy, did you know that the conspiracy was to obtain money unlawfully from other people
THE DEFENDANT: In the beginning, I didn’t know.
THE COURT: But later on you came to know that the purpose of this agreement was to obtain money?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
