Ghanaian socialite Hajia4Real is scheduled for release from a U.S. prison today after pleading guilty in a $2 million romance scam case.
Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Real, is set to be released from the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia today, May 22, 2025.
Her release follows a guilty plea in a $2 million romance scam case.
In November 2023, Montrage pleaded guilty to charges related to a romance scam operation that defrauded victims of over $2 million.
As part of a plea agreement, she agreed to forfeit the illicit funds and make restitution.
Montrage’s arrest and subsequent legal proceedings garnered significant attention in Ghana and among the diaspora, given her prominence in the entertainment industry.
Her impending release is expected to reignite discussions on cybercrime and its implications for Ghana’s international image.
While details about her post-release plans remain undisclosed, many anticipate statements from her legal team or representatives in the coming days.
The case underscores the importance of cybersecurity awareness and the need for stringent measures against online fraud.
