A leading lawyer for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Philip Addison is under investigation by the Criminal Investigative Department (CID) for his alleged role in defrauding a gaming company.

In a letter signed by the first directors of Merlin Gaming Ghana Limited, Eric Gbeho and Peter Nkegbe on Monday, they told the police that the renowned lawyer was involved in a conspiracy to defraud them.

Mr Addison, who came under the limelight during the 2012 election petition, is accused by the two for “his false impersonation as a company officer and for the aiding and abetting role that he played in assisting his client, one Frank Techie-Menson in committing various acts of forgery with the intent to defraud the company.”

The complaints have also accused Mr Addison’s client of “committing a fraud on the company and its bankers (Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited, Airport City branch) when he presented to them a false document purporting to be a resolution the directors at the company passed at a directors meeting.”
