The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have jointly launched investigations into the financial activities of Cecilia Abena Dapaah.

A statement from the OSP on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, said the investigation will cover the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources and her associates.

These inquiries, the OSP said, are primarily focused on examining their assets and financial transactions within the United States of America.

The collaborative effort aims to ascertain the lawfulness of Ms. Dapaah and her associates’ wealth, with a specific emphasis on tracking funds transitioning from Ghana to the United States and vice versa.

Ms. Dapaah’s court hurdles began when seven persons, including her house help, were hauled before the court for stealing $1 million,  €300,000, and other valuables from her residence.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) subsequently filed a motion to freeze her bank accounts and monies recovered after searching her residence.

Aside from the funds in her accounts, US$590,000 and over GH¢2.730,000 were also recovered from her residence on July 24.

The Accra High Court is yet to decide whether Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng can continue to hold Mrs Dapaah’s seized cash, which he has described as tainted.

Below is the OSP’s post.
