Butler Scan
I rec'd my copy of the scan....... thank you. 
I also rec'd a tip that he is in the Obosamase area, E.Ghana.
How far is that from a frontier?
$450,000 is the sama amount that Butler conned out of a wealthy Ghanaian Doctor.
Quote:
Dr. Samuel Akuoku - A practicing doctor, businessman and a Philanthropist. He is the Proprietor of Laurelton Medical Center, one of the biggest medical practices in New York. Owner of Van Development Corporation, a Real Estate Holding company in New York, Paradise Resort Hotel, Lake Bosomtwe, Ghana, Aerogen Aviation- Cargo & Aircraft Handling Company, Ghana and Yaase & Atonsu Farms with over 500 acres of commercial Teak plantations. Established scholarship foundations in Laurelton, New York and Ghana and donated two JSS school buildings in Ghana. He received United States Congressional Award, Queens Community Outstanding Physician Award and Bank of Ghana scholarship in Medical school. : end quote.

Luke Butler (still) wanted by Police

Luke Butler wanted by Police
The Criminal Investigation department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has renewed its appeal to members of the public to help it to arrest Mr Luke Butler, Chief Executive of Afra Airlines.
Mr Butler is wanted by the police for defrauding a US based- Ghanaians, Dr Sam Akuoko to the tune of$450,000.
The Director of the CID, David Asante Appeatu who made the appeal on Thursday said in November last year, Butler made false representations to Dr Akuoku that he had a Boeing 747 aircraft in Indonesia and needed money to bring it down to start an airline in Ghana.
He said Mr Butler told Dr Akuoko to transfer an amount of $400,000 into a cedi account in Ghana to facilitate the transaction.
According to him Butler further asked Dr Akuoko to use an additional $50,000 to open an office of the airline in the US.
He said Butler assured Dr Akuoko that when the airline became operational, he (Butler) and his wife, Mrs Siomone Butler who were the sole directors of the company, would offload 30 per cent shares to Dr Akuoko.
Mr Apeatu said after transferring the money and opening the office in the US, Dr Akuoko contacted Butler to find out when the aircraft was to be brought to Ghana.
In response, Mr Apeatu said, Butler allegedly told Dr Akuoko that they were going to hire an aircraft to start the operations.
The director said Dr Akuoko objected to that because it was contrary to what he had been made to believe and therefore, demanded a refund.
He said Butler started playing hide and seek with Dr Akuoko until the matter was referred to the police for investigations.
He said Mrs Butler was arrested and during interrogation, she admitted receiving the money.
Mr Appeatu said Mrs Butler was currently on police enquiry bail.

Back in Aus?
Where's the safest place for this sociopath?
Home, I reckon.
Keep an eye on the Aus media for the next few days.
Must be embarrassing for his brother, Brendan to have a 54 yr old delinquent in the family.
====================
Anyone seen the African possie yet?

Hi Guns,
it was a rhetorical question.
Ghanaian cops can't be the sharpest tools in the shed if they can't find him in their country after he's been on TV, in the papers etc.
My guess is, he got out of Dodge and the safest thing to do would be head home to family and leave Ghanaian wifey to face the music........ but........ I could be wrong
PS
Remember, he's not wanted in Aus for anything........ yet.
So, he can come and go as he pleases until an Intl Arrest warrant is issued.
A great country is Aus

I "hear" what you say although I do not understand the word " rhetorical " ?
Re the Ghana cops: Mate believe it or not ... some of the best operators I have seen !
It is a fact that Luke (or his GH wife) has a LOT of contacts - so I am sure things could have been made easy for him.
Then again Ghana is small and the white face stands out ... I mean I will recognise him a mile away - although I never met him - just seen him on TV (and taken a photo instead of taking a video)
Cheers mate !
PS: Anything to say about the rugby over the past two weeks?

Luke Butler Triumphs
Court stops Civil Aviation, Immigration
AN ACCRA Commercial Court has restrained the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the Ghana Immigration Services (GIS) and Attorney General (AG), their principals and agents, from carrying out the purported revocation of the residential and work permits of two directors of AFRA Airlines, an Australian airline, until final determination of a suit before it. Delivering its ruling yesterday, on the plea of the Australian investors, Luke Butler and Andrew Lachajcezak, Chief Executive Officer and I.T Manager respectively, of AFRA Airlines, the court presided over by Justice Henry Cofie, noted that the plaintiffs should not be prevented from moving into or going out of the country, until the suit is finalized.
The court upheld that greater hardship is put on plaintiffs in view of the deportation order given by a letter dated June 2, 2005 from the Minister of Interior; declaring their continuous stay in the country would be a criminal offence punishable by a fine or imprisonment.
The court further indicated that the Minister of Interior has powers under the law to revoke the residential permit of foreign nationals if their presence is not conducive to the country and therefore could not be bound to observe the natural justice rule the plaintiffs claim in their arguments.
AFRA Airlines, together with its directors, on June 9, 2005 issued a writ against the GCAA, with GIS and the AG as co-defendants.
The plaintiffs were seeking the order of the court to restrain the defendants, their principals and agents from carrying out or taking any further steps on the notice contained in a letter of June 2, 2005, revoking their residential and work permits by the GIS and the AG.
They further sought, in addition to cost and other reliefs, an order that defendants by their action were unfair and unreasonable, which constituted a breach of Act 678, L.I. 1075, Articles 23 and 296 of the 1992 Constitution and should therefore rescind their decision and reinstate their residential and work permits.
On June 23, 2005, the court granted the AG’s request of a mandatory 30-day written notice required under the law before it was sued.
In an affidavit in support of their motion, plaintiffs noted that since the incorporation of AFRA Airlines under the laws of the country, it had concretized its objectives with an amount of US$8.5million investment and employed 40 people; however, half of the people were laid off, following defendants’ action, even though frantic efforts at widening its operations were undertaken.
Plaintiffs averred that following the investment made in the country, the two co-defendants issued them with a year’s residential and work permit under section 13 (1) of the Immigration Act, 2000 (Act 573), effective November 24, 2004 to reside in the country.
According to plaintiffs, they applied for an Air Carrier License (ACL) meant to carry cargo and passengers worldwide and were given the license, followed by a review on January 12, 2005 by the Acting Director-General of GCAA.
They argued that the airline was further issued with an Air Travel Organizer’s License by the Ghana Tourist Board, when an application was made on January 13, 2005.
Plaintiffs noted that while waiting for the review of the ACL, CTK CityLink Airline publicly announced on February 3, 2005 that it would co-operate with Plaintiff Company to assist offering domestic services in the sub region.
Coincidentally, plaintiffs noted, by a letter dated February 4, 2005, the GCAA informed Plaintiff Company that it had been directed by the Minister for Roads and Transport, Dr. Richard Anane, to suspend the ACL issued to AFRA Airlines without any reasons.
Additionally, plaintiffs point out that another letter of May 5, 2005 was received from the GCAA, being an order by the Chief of Staff and Minister for Presidential Affairs, Mr. Kojo Mpiani, to revoke plaintiffs’ license.
Plaintiffs intimated that the suspension and subsequent revocation of its license was improper and that the GCAA and the AG’s conduct was meant to undermine their business and investment, as the actions of the two government officials were wrong and constituted a breach of Act 678 and L.I. 1075.
Subsequently, the plaintiffs noted that a letter from the Director of GIS notified that their work and residence permits had been annulled with effect from June 2, 2005 and the airline’s ACL had been revoked and therefore had no authority to operate in the country.
Plaintiffs’ counsel, Mr. Tony Lithur, had argued that his clients were not treated fairly by the authorities before revoking their licenses, since they were not given the opportunity to respond to the queries made by the Ghanaian authorities, in spite of their heavy investments.
Counsel for second defendants, GIS, had argued that the plaintiffs’ application was premature since the letter written to them had a window of opportunity where they could reapply for the permits.
Counsel indicated that plaintiffs had not made any attempt to apply for the permit as requested by the immigration.
Chief State Attorney, Kathleen Quartey Ayensu in her arguments, indicated that the presence of plaintiffs in the country, in the view of the authorities, was not conducive for the country as it led to the revocation and subsequent invalidation of the work and residential permit of plaintiffs.
The chief state attorney held that it would not be fair to ban ministers from doing what they were required to do under the law, in the interest of the country.
The Chief of Staff, Mr.Kwadwo Mpiani now has oversight over the Aviation which used to be part of the Ministry under the aegis of Dr. Richard Anane.

Butler Triumphs Ho bloody Ho.
So what, my little sociopath, you're just pissing in the wind now.
You didn't attend that court in person as you would have been arrested.
Where are you now? hiding behind mummy's skirt, you ******!
You are a thief and proven fraudster, if, and when the law catches up with you, you will claim that everyone is at fault except you. (as usual)
I and many others hope that you rot in an African jail and Bubba finds you in there

Airline wheeler-dealer fights deportation bid
Chris Griffith
A QUEENSLAND businessman who was sued by the Japanese Government for a failed agreement to fly Red Army terrorists to Tokyo has been warned he would be shot if he entered Thailand after allegedly fleecing an airline of $US50,000 ($65,000).
Former bankrupt Luke Norman Butler, whose aircraft-related deals have angered the governments of Japan and Cameroon, also is wanted by police in Ghana in West Africa.
"I think that if he comes to Thailand someone would shoot him, maybe me," an angry Sabai Airlines chief executive officer Tanapat Bunyarak told The Courier-Mail yesterday.
Captain Bunyarak said Mr Butler had obtained $US50,000 from the board of Sabai Airlines as a deposit for three US-based 747-200 aircraft, which he apparently did not own.
In Ghana, Mr Butler faces arrest concerning an alleged fraud involving $US450,000. Police say Mr Butler had made false representations in that he had a Boeing 747 aircraft in Indonesia and needed money to bring it down to start an airline in Ghana. Mr Butler, whose wife Simone is from Ghana and who has been arrested, had opened an airline there, employed 40 staff and planned to engage 100 more, claiming his venture was backed by funding of $US8.5 million.
Mr Butler, who is at large and fighting deportation, had claimed he had forged a deal with US's Utilicraft Corp for his Brisbane company to buy 100 FF-1080 Freight Feeder aircraft for $1.2 billion.
However, in February his air licence was revoked and in May, Australian authorities banned him from managing corporations for three years.
