We didn’t clear Cecilia Dapaah, we gave EOCO platinum information – OSP

Following several months of investigation, the OSP closed its case and handed it over to EOCO on the basis that the offence it was uncovering fell largely in the realm of money laundering.

The AG’s Office advised EOCO to stop investigations on grounds that the file did not have an investigative report and further documentation to ground a money laundering prosecution.

The AG further said the police are also investigating the source of funding by Madam Cecilia Dapaah, so there was no need for EOCO to continue with the case.

Darko maintained that EOCO did not request the FBI investigation report, although there were joint representatives from the two agencies working on the file transfer.

“We want to make it very clear that EOCO did not request for the FBI report

He said the OSP referred the case to EOCO, with all relevant documentation including caution statements of over 20 suspects in America, Accra and Kumasi and other information including relatives of Madam Dapaah claiming the monies and some jewellery in her house were family heirlooms to assist EOCO in conducting its own independent investigation into the financial transactions involved.

The OSP’s Director for Strategy, Research, and Communications gave further reasons on why his outfit referred the case to EOCO instead of proceeding with the alleged money laundering probe.
