Koo Fori was accused of receiving a large sum of money from a California-based Ghanaian individual with the promise of making a legitimate investment on the person's behalf. However, he reportedly failed to deliver and went into hiding.
The veteran actor allegedly defaulted on the repayment of the money and ignored a summons to appear before a judge at the Dansoman district court on April 17, 2025.
Following his refusal to heed the court's summons, a bench warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest. He remained in police custody until a hearing on Monday, May 12, 2025, where he was granted a GH₵320,000 bail with sureties.
Koo Fori has reportedly pleaded not guilty to allegedly defrauding the individual of $50,000 when he appeared before a judge during his first court hearing.
The court also rescinded the bench warrant previously issued for his arrest after granting his bail during the proceedings.
