A delegation from the FBI Chicago Field Office recently visited the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Ghana.
It comprises a Forensic Accountant and two Special Agents.
During the meeting, EOCO’s head, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaah Addo-Danquah, briefed them on the office’s mandate and highlighted the longstanding collaboration between the two agencies.
She further informed the team about the longstanding relationship between the two institutions and how useful such collaborations have been over the years in terms of investigations.
She assured the team of EOCO’s eagerness to collaborate again on the investigations.
The visit aims to support ongoing forensic investigations, particularly in the case referred to EOCO by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, involving former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Abena Dapaah and suspected money laundering and structuring.
The OSP’s move was after an extensive seven-month investigation alongside a parallel inquiry conducted by the FBI.
