The former Director of the Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, along with his wife and two others, has been formally charged with a total of ten criminal offenses including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
According to court documents filed by the Attorney-General’s Department at the High Court, Adu-Boahene is accused of dishonestly appropriating approximately GH¢49.1 million under the pretense of procuring a cyber defense system for the Republic of Ghana. The alleged offenses occurred between February and March 2020.
His wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, is charged with conspiracy to steal and aiding the use of public office for profit.
Two other co-accused—Mildred Donkor and a company, Advantage Solutions Limited—face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and money laundering itself.
Prosecutors allege that Adu-Boahene abused his position in public office to siphon public funds, which were funneled through Advantage Solutions Limited and later invested in various ventures for personal benefit.
The state argues that the accused deliberately manipulated procurement processes and failed to deliver the promised cyber defense system, leading to a significant financial loss to the state.
The four are expected to make their initial appearance before the High Court in the coming days as the case proceeds.
