The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has completed investigations in respect of Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, affectionately called Chairman Wontumi.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been under investigation after he was detained by EOCO for almost a week.
He was granted bail on Tuesday, May 27, to the tune of GH₵50 million with two sureties, both to be justified, after he was arrested by EOCO on suspicion of involvement in fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes.
Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine, the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General, said the EOCO had also completed investigations into Mr. Abdul-Wahab Hannan, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Buffer Stock Company and their accomplices.
“The results of both investigations will be announced very soon,” the Attorney-General said.
He announced these at Government Accountability Series news conference at the Presidency, in Accra.
Mr Ayine noted that the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) had also completed the docket on the Akonta Mining Case and submitted same to his office.
“We have prepared charges and sent them back to the Police CID for the suspects to be formally charged before their arraignment in court in the coming days,” the Attorney General said.
