One of the accused was former footballer Sunday Eboh.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s elderly victim had been duped into sending money to a person pretending to be a lonely American soldier deployed in Afghanistan. That case is still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>During Anene\u2019s hearing, the court was told that the ongoing investigations into the romance fraud scheme, being carried out by Paola district police, together with the Financial Crime Unit, had identified Anene.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecuting lawyers Abigail Caruana Vella, Sean Xerri de Caro and Karl Muscat, together with Inspectors Claire Borg, Sarah Kathleen Zerafa asked Magistrate Rachel Montebello to also impose a freezing order over all Anene\u2019s assets.<\/p>\n<p>Defence counsel lawyer Rachel Tua informed the court that Anene was not aware of the international arrest warrant issued for him, however, he had since not contested the validity of the arrest and had come willingly to Malta to prove his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>She made a request for bail, emphasising that Anene\u2019s children and family members still reside in Malta and there is no fear of him absconding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it comes to the tampering of evidence, we have given full details to the police of the person we believe is the mastermind or the alleged scammer, let\u2019s say.
