Lawyers for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta have accused Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng of abusing his office, following INTERPOL’s decision to permanently delete a Red Notice issued against their client.
The development follows a ruling by the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF), which ordered the removal of the Red Notice during its 135th session held on February 4, 2026, effectively ending the international alert previously placed on the former minister.
The decision marks a major setback to efforts to extradite Ofori-Atta, who has been at the centre of a multi-billion-cedi investigation into the management of Ghana’s economy and a number of controversial financial transactions.Ghana tourism packages
Speaking in an interview with Channel One News on Saturday, February 14, one of Ofori-Atta’s lawyers, Frank Davies, criticised the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over its handling of the case.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor should be serious with Ghanaians. When we talk for Ken Ofori-Atta, people say all kinds of things that he is running away from accountability. If we are in a serious country, people should be careful with what they say. The Office of the Special Prosecutor is abusing that office,” he said.
