The Attorney-General,Dominic Akuritinga Ayine has filed criminal charges against Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng, and two other parties, accusing them of engaging in schemes to embezzle public funds.
The charges, filed under the authority of Article 88 of the 1992 Constitution, stem from an extensive investigation into financial irregularities linked to multiple entities connected to Adu Boahene.
Among the entities named is Advantage Solutions Limited, a holding company owned and operated by Adu Boahene and his wife which reportedly received a bulk of the stolen funds. Investigators believe the company served as a central conduit through which the misappropriated monies were funneled into three other firms: Vetex Properties Ltd, Vetex Solutions, and the now-notorious BNC Communications Bureau Ltd.
BNC Communications Bureau Ltd is said to have been the primary vehicle used to execute the theft from the national security account.
According to the Attorney-General, this intricate web of corporate manipulation points to a calculated effort to obscure the trail of funds and evade detection.
In addition to the couple, one Mildred Donkor, a former employee of UMB Bank has also been indicted. She is believed to have resigned from the bank just in time to participate in the criminal enterprise. Her role, according to the prosecution, was instrumental in facilitating the laundering of the stolen funds.
Mr. Adu Boahene now faces a slew of charges including:
– Three counts of stealing
– One count of defrauding by false pretences
– One count of willfully causing financial loss to the state
– One count of using public office for profit
– Multiple counts of money laundering
His wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, has been charged with:
– Conspiracy to steal
– Collaborating in the misuse of public office for private profit
– Conspiracy to commit money laundering
– Money laundering
Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions Limited have both been charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering and money laundering.
The Attorney General pronounced this when he addressed the Media today, wednesday, 30th April, 2025.
