Former TOR MD conviction: Ghana, US working to pursue others over power plant bribery scheme – Deputy AG
Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai says his office is working with authorities in the United States to pursue other individuals implicated in a bribery scheme linked to a power plant development contract between a Turkish energy company and the Government of Ghana.
Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai revealed that Ghanaian authorities are collaborating with their American counterparts to prosecute additional individuals involved in a bribery scheme connected to a power plant development contract between a Turkish firm and Ghana's government. This follows the sentencing of former Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) Managing Director, Asante Kwaku Berko, by a U.S. federal jury in New York.
The Attorney General is coordinating efforts with U.S. authorities to ensure that those implicated in the alleged corruption are held accountable. The scheme arose from a 2014-2017 contract involving a Turkish energy company and the Ghanaian government. Berko was convicted on charges of conspiracy to violate the U.S.'s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other related laws.
U.S. and Ghanaian authorities have not disclosed the identities of the other suspects or the specific actions being taken in their pursuit.
