According to reports, Hajia 4Reall was sentenced to one year and one day in prison by a U.S. court for her role in a romantic scam.
Innercitypress reported that Mona Faiz Montrage, a socialite from Ghana, was condemned today. The news report claims that the judge sentenced Hajia 4Reall to one year and one day in prison, even though her attorneys had pleaded for three months.
The defense team for Hajia 4Reall reportedly stated, “We propose she is allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention,” after the judge reportedly sentenced Ms. Montrage to one year and one day in jail, with an additional day added to provide for “good time.”
The socialite’s legal team has first asked for a three-month term, highlighting her crucial role in her child’s life as a single mother. The US Attorney’s Office, however, has argued in favor of the full 37-month term, pointing to other cases and emphasizing the necessity of an effective deterrent.
Hajia4Reall was charged with one crime of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy, and one offense of money laundering.
Because of her role in a $2 million romance scam, Hajia4Reall was placed under custody. She allegedly received $89,000 in wire transfers and spoke with one of her victims on several occasions, ostensibly to finance her father’s farm.She was extradited to the US to face these accusations after being arrested in the UK.
The Fast Law Firm, who had been Hajia 4Reall’s legal team, broke their silence on the verdict on social media, posting, “U.S. v. Mona Montrage, 22 cr 617 (JPO) comes to a close after a 1.5-hour sentencing.
“Our client received a sentence of 12 months and 1 day, which is longer than the 37–46 months of imprisonment that the government had requested. We are immensely proud with the outcome and the lobbying that was done on behalf of our client. When she is prepared, our client will make a statement.
