Alistair Mathias, who is a gold trader with expertise in designing money laundering schemes for Africans, said that his work has given him access to every president or head of state on the continent. He also claims that the Ghanaian president is his lawyer. "President Akufo-Addo of Ghana told us that he had no recollection of acting as a lawyer for Alistair Mathias or his company." During his meeting with Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters, Mathias said that aside from Ghana, he moves gold worth between $70million and $80million from Zimbabwe monthly.
