Authorities in Ghana have busted a fake U.S. embassy in the capital Accra run by a criminal network that for a decade issued illegally obtained authentic visas, the U.S. State Department said. Investigations also uncovered a fake Dutch embassy, the State Department said. The statement did not say how the gang obtained the authentic visas. The real U.S. embassy in Ghana is a prominent and heavily fortified complex in Cantonments, one of the capital's most expensive neighbourhoods. The fake embassy was open three mornings a week and did not accept walk-in appointments.
