Hajia4Real sentenced to 1 year imprisonment in romance scam case

Socialite, Hajia4Real has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison in the United States of America.

She was convicted for her role in a romance scam that defrauded victims of $2 million.

This sentencing accentuates the serious consequences of such fraudulent activities and has attracted significant attention due to her celebrity status.

Mona4Real pleaded guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen money in Manhattan Federal Court on February 21.

Federal authorities stated that she controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent funds from the scheme.

Here’s how the court proceedings went: 

Judge: I sentence Ms Montrage to one year and one day in prison, the extra day to allow “good time.” 

Defense: We propose she be allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention 

AUSA: We consent Adjourned

Earlier, Hajia4Real had pleaded with the court to sentence her for three months because she is a single mother. 

She told the court that she got involved in the romance scam because she was involved with a man who was involved in the trade and had a child for the man.

However, the U.S Attorney kicked against a lesser sentence for her with the argument that the sentence is supposed to be longer to serve as a deterrent for others. 

Ghanaian socialite Hajia4Real born Mona Faiz Montrage was charged and extradited from the United Kingdom where she was arrested to the United States of America (USA) for her role in a romance scheme.

According to Reports available to this website, the socialite who had been talking about her rise through entrepreneurship was involved in a romance scam to the tune of $2 million.

She is said to have spoken to one of her victims several times and received wire transfers to the tune of $89,000 to help fund her father’s farm.

The socialite was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of money laundering, she was also charged with one count of receipt of stolen money which carries 10 years prison sentence and conspiracy to receive stolen cash which carries five years jail term.
