The Economic and Organised Crime Office has started a financial investigation into Asante Kwaku Berko. He is a former banker and former Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery.

This action follows Mr Berko's conviction in the United States. He was found guilty in relation to bribery allegations.

EOCO's investigation will focus on tracing funds and assets. These may be connected to the bribery case involving Mr Berko.

The agency seeks to understand the financial flow related to the alleged criminal activities.

Mr Berko's conviction in the US is a key factor prompting this local inquiry.

Authorities are working to uncover any financial irregularities within Ghana related to the scandal.

The investigation aims to ensure accountability and recover any illicitly gained assets.

Further details are expected as the probe progresses.
