Justice Srem Sai, Deputy Attorney General, has confirmed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is under criminal investigation for multiple offences, including fraud, causing financial loss to the State, and money laundering.
Broadcast journalist Kafui Dey shared the update, revealing that the investigation is running concurrently with asset recovery efforts aimed at preventing further dissipation of suspected proceeds of crime.
Additionally, Chairman Wontumi is being probed as part of a larger international organised crime scheme. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is collaborating with international law enforcement partners on this second strand of criminal investigations.
The case follows Wontumi’s recent arrest by EOCO over allegations linked to illegal mining and financial improprieties. EOCO has yet to issue a detailed public statement on the matter.
As the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), this high-profile investigation remains a focus for both the public and political observers.
Further developments will be reported as the investigation progresses.
