Hajia4Reall to be sentenced to prison today
By 
Mona Faiz Montrage, widely known as Haijia4Real, will be facing a prison sentence today in the United States of America after pleading guilty to series of internet romance scam.
Hajia4Real made the headlines after she was extradited from the UK to the US following internet fraud after being monitored for a long period of time. The socialite legal team pleaded for a three-month sentence for their client but the court has refused and has decided to go by their supposed verdict to serve as deterrent to others.
According to the US Attorney’s Office, Haijia4Real is likely to face the full 37-month jail term even though she has a daughter. The court believes it will be quite unfair to push for a reduced sentence for Hajia4Real, considering a lot of things.
Hajia4Real had revealed that the father of her daughter, whom she met in 2015 in the United States, was the one who introduced her to internet fraud after she discovered the man was into the illegal act.
Even though Hajia4Real pleaded for a reduction of her prison term because she is a single mother, her plea fell on deaf ears as the court wished to go by the law.
Hajia4Real has pleaded guilty to a romance scam involving over 2 million USD, where she mostly extorted money from older men in the US and transferred it to some accounts.
She was known to be engaging with older men on online dating apps, faking marriage certificates, receiving money from these vulnerable men, and transferring it to some accounts.
Hajia4Real was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy, and one count of money laundering. Also, the socialite was charged with one count of stolen money (carries a 10-year prison sentence) and conspiracy to receive stolen cash (carries a 5-year prison sentence).
Many fans and Ghanaians have wished the socialite well as she awaits the final verdict from the US court today.
