The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has confirmed conducting a lawful search and seizure operation at the Trassaco Valley Phase 1 residence of Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale.
The operation, carried out in June this year by EOCO’s Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU), followed a 2023 request from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of an ongoing international investigation into financial crimes.
During the operation, EOCO officers seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus reportedly tied to criminal proceeds belonging to one Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving an 86-month sentence in the U.S. for multiple financial offences.
The vehicle, according to both U.S. and Ghanaian authorities, was purchased with proceeds from Amuah’s criminal enterprise and had been traced to Shatta Wale.
