Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, Ghana’s Special Prosecutor, recently traveled to Washington D.C. where he held meetings with officials from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The purpose of these meetings was to gain knowledge about their organizational structure, operations, and best practices, in order to foster collaboration and strengthen capacity building.
During his time in Washington D.C., the Special Prosecutor met with Jason Beachy, the Acting Assistant Director of the International Operations Division, as well as several unit chiefs from the FBI.
Additionally, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) visited the Department of Justice where they were received by Arun G. Rao, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and Richard Goldberg, the Deputy Director of the Consumer Protection Branch (CPB) within the Justice Department’s Civil Division.
Two weeks prior to this visit, the OSP had announced their collaboration with the FBI in conducting simultaneous investigations into the activities of Cecilia Abena Dapaah.
The ongoing investigations primarily focus on examining the assets and financial transactions of Ms. Dapaah and her associates within the United States of America.
The purpose of this collaborative effort is to determine the legality of the wealth accumulated by Ms. Dapaah and her associates, both concerning the movement of funds from Ghana to the United States and vice versa.
In recent news, Cecilia Dapaah and her husband have filed a complaint with the police regarding stolen cash from their home by their maid.
According to their report, the maid allegedly stole $1 million in cash from their bedroom, as well as a sum of money in Euros and Ghana cedis, clothing, and jewelry.
Following the public disclosure of this information, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has intervened to investigate the source of the money.
However, Ms. Dapaah is currently seeking an interlocutory injunction against the OSP in an attempt to halt the investigation and potential prosecution of herself and her husband, Daniel Osei Kufuor.
