The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has exonerated former Pres­ident John Dramani Mahama, his brother, and three other individuals of any wrongdoing in the Airbus scandal. After a four-year investigation, it has concluded that there is no direct evidence of corruption and bribery in the purchase of three C-295 military transport aircraft from Airbus by the govern­ment between 2011 and 2015. The probe, conducted between February 2020 and June this year, focused on former President Mahama, who was identified as "Government Official 1 or Individual 1 " in the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK) court proceedings. Others were his brother, Samuel Adam Foster (also known as Samuel Adam Mahama), referred to as "In­termediary 5 or Consultant 4"; Philip Sean Middle­miss, referred to as "Intermediary 6" or "Consultant 5"), Leanne Sarah Davis "Intermediary 7", and Sarah Furneaux, the spouse of Mr Foster. At a press conference in Accra yesterday, the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyabeng revealed that the OSP's inquiry found no evidence to support the allegations that these individuals acted as intermediar­ies, facilitating bribery between Airbus employees and Ghanaian public officials.
