A report by The New Crusading Guide Newspaper on Friday, March 13, 2020, suggesting that lawyer Charles William Zwennes has been disqualified by the Accra High Court and barred from representing Merlin Gaming Ghana Limited in a pending suit, has been labelled as false.

In a rejoinder, the lawyer described the title of the story as misleading and intending to mischievously suggest to the reader that the court decision was somehow made in the context of a disciplinary matter lodged against him and his law firm.

“It also falsely suggests that the matters before the Court somehow involved some actions of mine in my capacity as Board Chairman of The Republic Bank Ghana Limited, and therefore relates in that regard, to the affairs of the bank. In fact, both these notions are totally and completely false, incorrect and misleading,” portions of the rejoinder stated.

He further said neither Mr. Gbeho nor the company, Merlin Gaming Ghana Limited, was in any way debarred by the ruling, from using Charles Zwennes and his law firm for any other legal matters.

He stated categorically that the same ruling of Justice Koomson specifically indicates that Charles Zwennes currently continues to be the company’s lawyer.
