'Holy rain' bribe: EOCO investigating 'specific individuals' in Ghana including former minister but will not disclose names for now

Following the conclusion of the proceedings in the United States and the conviction of Mr Asante Berko, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice immediately engaged the appropriate US authorities and will through lawful channels obtain relevant evidence, records and information necessary to advance the Ghanaian investigation which began last year.

EOCO remains committed to following the evidence without fear or favour, identifying and investigating economic and organised crime within its mandate, and pursuing the recovery of assets and public resources where the evidence and the law so require.

EOCO wishes to assure the public that it has been attentive to the developments in this matter and has, within its statutory mandate, been engaged with the relevant authorities regarding the Ghanaian dimension of the case.
