The former UBS Trader Kweku Adoboli has been welcomed home with a sumptuous local dish by family members.
Adoboli was deported from the United Kingdom where he had served four years of a seven-year sentence for a £1.4 billion fraud at Swiss bank UBS.
Adoboli was found guilty of booking fictitious trades to cover up big losses during the financial crisis between 2008 and 2011.

Having lived in the UK for 26 years, the 38-year-old man was said to be in a distressed state before he left London.
