Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu believes that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is well-positioned to confiscate funds in question in the case of the former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
Court documents filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) have disclosed that the former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah uses aliases to conceal transactions from undeclared real estate business.
The OSP’s criminal intelligence further suggested that the first respondent, as a Minister of State, was engaged in an undisclosed and undeclared real estate business in which she obscured and concealed the transactions by employing the use of aliases to avoid detection of the actual ownership of the business and properties, while cleverly receiving the proceeds of the transactions in her bank accounts and investments.
A document by the OSP also revealed that “criminal intelligence suggested that the first respondent had unexplained large cash sums of money far above her income as a Minister of State secreted and stashed up in her residence; and that her house-helps had allegedly helped themselves to part of said sums of money through larceny.
This is the latest action by the Office of the Special Prosecutor to confirm the seizure of suspected tainted properties belonging to Cecilia Dapaah.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has further revealed that a bank account belonging to the deceased brother of Cecilia Dapaah has been actively sending money to the former Sanitation Minister.
But speaking to Ahotor news, Mr. Kpebu said the process may be challenging but suggested that, the OSP has a strong basis to request a seizure.
