The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has met with officials of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) at their Washington, D.C. headquarters.
The purpose of the OSP's visit to the FBI was to gain insights into their organizational structure, operations, and best practices, and enhance collaboration and capacity building.
The Special Prosecutor met with Jason Beachy, the Acting Assistant Director of the International Operations Division at the FBI and a host of unit chiefs.
During the visit to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the OSP was received by Arun G. Rao, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and Richard Goldberg, Deputy Director of the Consumer Protection Branch (CPB) within the Justice Department's Civil Division.
On October 11, the Special Prosecutor announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has joined the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in a synchronized effort aimed at delving deep into the matters of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
Their joint investigation will touch on assets and financial transactions tied to Ms. Dapaah within the US.
This was revealed in a statement by the Special Prosecutor indicating that his outfit "and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) @USEmbassyGhana have initiated concurrent inquiries into the activities of Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, and her associates.”
This cooperative crusade seeks to unravel the legality surrounding the wealth amassed by Ms. Dapaah and her cohorts, traversing the corridors of both Ghana and the United States.
