All the 180 Judicial Service officials who have been implicated in the bribery scandal that has rocked the Judiciary are being investigated, Graphic Online has gathered.

The officials are captured in videos ostensibly taking money from litigants.

Thirty-four of the suspected culprits are said to be judges at the High, the Circuit and the District courts.

Some of the culprits have also been linked to sex scandals in a three-hour edited video emanating from a two-year investigation into corrupt practices in the Judicial Service by ace investigator, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Some of the judges on interdiction have been named as John Ajet-Nasam, Charles Quist (Fast Track), Kofi Essel Mensah (Human Rights), Paul Uuter Dery (Human Rights) and Mustapha Habib Logoh. They are all High Court judges.

Some of the famous cases they have handled are Ajet-Nasam - the criminal aspect of the famous Woyome case.

Ajet-Nasam is said to have tendered in his resignation letter upon learning about the findings of Anas' investigations but the resignation has been rejected, Graphic Online has gathered.

Justice Quist handled the Asamoah Boateng and Tagor cases whilst Logoh on his part handled the recent Johnson Kombian case and the famous Issa Mobila case.
