Follow the evidence, not assumptions, in Baffour Awuah case – Victoria Bright

International corporate lawyer Victoria Bright has urged the public to focus on evidence rather than assumptions in the Baffour Awuah case, emphasizing the need to separate the questions of whether the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) had a legitimate basis to investigate the SIC Life Savings and Loans transaction and whether they exercised their powers lawfully, proportionately, and fairly.

Bright highlighted the importance of scrutinizing areas such as the settlement, authorization for the movement of funds, and apparent anomalies in documentation, while also cautioning against conflating the legitimacy of an investigation with the manner in which it is conducted. She urged caution against drawing conclusions prematurely and advocated for a thorough examination of all relevant evidence.
