The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has shared news about Cecilia Dapaah. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) requested a copy of her docket.
The OSP confirmed they returned the docket to EOCO. This was done following a formal request from EOCO’s new leadership. EOCO needs the docket for review and possible action.
On May 29, 2025, the OSP sent a duplicate docket to EOCO. They promised full cooperation in EOCO’s investigation into suspected money laundering. The OSP believes this docket is important for EOCO's investigation.
In July 2023, the OSP began investigating corruption related to large sums of money at Cecilia Dapaah's home. They worked with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). However, they found no direct evidence of corruption.
The OSP did find strong indicators of suspected money laundering. Yet, EOCO declined to take on the case because there was no established offence.
Recently, the OSP revealed that Cecilia Dapaah’s deceased brother still has an active bank account. This account continues to transfer money to her.
This follows an attempt by the OSP to seize millions from Dapaah and freeze bank accounts with over ¢40 million in transactions. Their case was unsuccessful despite Dapaah stepping down as minister amid questions about her wealth.
