Asante Berko bribery case: EOCO seeks US evidence to advance Ghana probe

The Office said that following the conclusion of the US proceedings and Mr Berko’s conviction, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice engaged the appropriate US authorities to obtain relevant evidence, records and information required to advance the Ghanaian investigation.

The Office also monitored proceedings in the United States, noting that the international nature of the case and evidence emerging from the US trial could help determine the scope and direction of a comprehensive investigation in Ghana.

According to EOCO, the Attorney-General has subsequently directed the Office to escalate its investigations as the relevant information and official records are obtained from the competent authorities in the United States.
