Ghanaian socialite and musician Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall has been released from the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia after serving a one-year and one-day prison sentence for conspiracy to receive stolen money from romance scams.
Following her sentencing on June 28, 2024, which also included three years of supervised release, forfeiture of $216,475, and restitution of $1,387,458, Montrage’s legal team successfully petitioned for the release of her passport to facilitate her self-deportation to Ghana.
With the court’s approval of her self-deportation request, Montrage is anticipated to return to Ghana shortly after her release.
Her case has garnered significant attention in Ghana, where she was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry before her legal troubles.
