Hajia 4Reall‘s legal representatives in the United States, Elena Fast, Esq. and Michael Perkins, Esq. from The Fast Law Firm P.C., issued a statement following Mona Faiz Montrage’s recent court judgment.
Hajia 4Reall, represented by the aforementioned lawyers, pleaded guilty for her involvement in laundering money from a series of romance scams.
“In May 2023, Ms. Montrage voluntarily boarded the flight from Heathrow to JFK to face the criminal case in the Southern District of New York. At that time, she took the first step to closing that chapter of her life. Today, she took responsibility for her bank accounts being used to receive funds from illicit conduct that ended in 2019.
Ms. Montrage’s plea does not define her as a person and is not reflective of the individual she is today. Ms. Montrage is thankful for the support of her fans, family and legal team throughout this process”, released made by Elena Fast, Esq. and Michael Perkins, Esq.
Additionally, she agreed to forfeit $2,164,758.41 and make restitution for the same amount. Her sentencing is scheduled to be conducted by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty at a later date.
Despite this legal matter, Hajia 4Reall, known for her musical talents, has garnered numerous awards and nominations within the Ghanaian music industry.
