ACCRA, Ghana, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of State said a fake U.S. Embassy in Ghana that issued illegally obtained legitimate visas for over 10 years was shut down.
The fraudulent enterprise, housed in a pink, two-story building in the capital of Accra, also issued counterfeit visas, and other false identification documents. The business operated three days a week and the fake consular officers who worked there were Turkish citizens who spoke English and Dutch.
