Ghanaian social media sensation, Mona Faiz Montrage, better known as Hajia4Reall on Instagram has been sentenced to one year and one day in jail by a US Court in connection with a romance scam case.
According to Inner City Press, the prosecution sought a 37-month sentence for the accused, but the judge chose to be lenient. “I sentence Ms Montrage to one year and one day in prison, the extra day to allow “good time.”, the judge said.
Defense said: “We propose she be allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention.
Guilty
Hajia4Real had earlier pleaded guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen money before US Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave for her role in laundering the proceeds of a series of romance scams.
She was extradited from the United Kingdom to the US last year for allegedly swindling over US$2 million from older, single American men and women in a twisted lonely hearts scam.
