Chairman Wontumi is still being held at the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) after failing to meet the bail conditions of GHC 50 million. The Minority MPs have staged a demonstration against the high bail bond, arguing it’s excessive.
Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai has confirmed that Chairman Wontumi is under investigation for multiple offenses, including fraud and money laundering. The investigation aims to prevent dissipation of suspected proceeds of crime.
A second probe involves allegations of Wontumi’s role in an international organized crime scheme, with EOCO working closely with international law enforcement partners. The situation remains ongoing. Alexander Afriyie
