Full text: OSP abandons all charges against Cecilia Dapaah, ordered to return confiscated assets
The Special Prosecutor has withdrawn the application to officially validate the seizure and freezing of funds and bank accounts belonging to Cecilia Dapaah.
Additionally, the office has abandoned a criminal trial initiated against the former sanitation minister for her alleged failure to declare assets.
These decisions follow a series of private hearings on the matter. For several months, the Special Prosecutor has held Cecilia Dapaah’s funds, seized during a search of her residence as part of an ongoing investigation.
The office had also imposed freezes on certain bank accounts linked to Cecilia Dapaah, citing allegations of corruption and corruption-related activities.
