The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has officially triggered a process for the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice, potentially subjecting former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, to international arrest and extradition.
The move, announced at a press briefing in Accra on Monday, June 2, comes after Mr Ofori-Atta failed to honour multiple invitations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for questioning in relation to ongoing corruption investigations. "About 30 minutes before this brief, I triggered processes for the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice for the location and provisional arrest of Mr.
Ken Ofori-Atta in whichever jurisdiction, pending extradition or his surrender," the Special Prosecutor revealed.
In addition, the embattled former minister has also been reinstated on the OSP's list of wanted persons and officially declared a fugitive from justice.
