The investigation code-named Operation Grateful was led by EOCO, with collaboration of officers from the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB), Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), backed by uniformed police,” Nana Antwi told media men in Accra.
“Because it was simultaneous, the UK law enforcement officers also took part at their end and in the case of Ghana, it has resulted in the arrest of two suspects in Accra, believed to be involved in this high-end money laundering,” he said.
“…This is a complex organised financial crime”, Nana Antwi noted, adding investigations are on-going.
