Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai has confirmed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is currently under investigation for a series of serious criminal allegations, including fraud, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.
Speaking on the matter, the Deputy AG stated that the investigation is not only focused on criminal prosecution but also includes aggressive asset recovery measures.
Authorities are working to ensure that any suspected proceeds of crime are secured and not concealed or lost during the process.
In addition to the primary case, Justice Srem-Sai revealed that a second phase of investigations is underway.
This involves Chairman Wontumi’s alleged links to a broader international organised crime network.
Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is reportedly collaborating with international law enforcement agencies to probe these transnational connections.
The case has sparked significant public interest, as it involves one of the country’s most prominent political figures and could have far-reaching legal and political implications.
