OSP Refers Cecilia Dapaahs Case To EOCO

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has referred former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah's case to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

According to a statement from the OSP, “By operation of law, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has a specific and direct mandate in respect of suspected cases of money laundering and its attendant activity of structuring. Consequently, the Office is referring the case to EOCO for continued investigation and further action. The Office will be in close collaboration with EOCO and continued collaboration with the FBI"

Meanwhile, a little over an hour ago, the Office discontinued its application that was pending before the High Court for a confirmation of the seizure and freezing orders in pursuance of the referral of the case to EOCO.

The Office also discontinued the procedural criminal charge against Ms. Dapaah for failure to return forms on declaration of property and income..
