Special Prosecutor Disrupts Counterfeit Foreign Currency Manufacturing Network Involving US$40m

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has disrupted a syndicate involved in the production of substantial amount of counterfeited foreign currency.

Seizures were made in two warehouses located in Accra and Tema, where a substantial amount of counterfeited forty million dollars
($40,000,000.00) was discovered concealed in steel trunks.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor made this known on Friday, December 15, 2023.

It was released as part of the updates from the OSP this week on some of the works the office has been doing since 2021 when Kissi Agyebeng started work as the Special Prosecutor.

No further details have been released about this special operation involving the substantial amount of foreign currency.

Even though the OSP has not released much details about the said operation as to the timing it took place, Graphic Online gathers from a source that it was a highly classified and well coordinated operation.

Someone is said to have gave a tip off to the currency operators about the OSP’s operation and planned swoop.

The suspects reportedly bolted in a hurry and didn’t have much time to pack everything on a short notice.
