Ghanaian socialite, actress, and singer Hajia4Real—real name Mona Montrage Faiz—has admitted that she was involved in money laundering from a series of romantic scams.
She pleaded guilty yesterday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave to the allegation of conspiracy to accept stolen money.
The Ghanaian celebrity, 31, entered a plea of guilty to one count of conspiracy to get stolen property, which carries a possible five-year jail sentence.
Furthermore, Montrage has agreed to forfeit and make good on the equivalent sum of $2,164,758.41.
In November of 2023, Hajia4Real had a new attorney. This choice was made after she split from Adam Cortez, her lawyer, at the beginning of her legal case.
On November 8, 2023, Hajia4Real filed a request for a change of counsel with the US court. On November 9, 2023, the request was approved. She then hired Ms. Eleanor Fast of “The Fast Law Firm PC” to take care of her case moving forward.
Her choice to change attorneys was made for reasons that were not made public.
