The family of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has announced that he will return to Ghana to respond to ongoing investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) after undergoing a scheduled surgery on June 13.

Mr. Ofori-Atta is currently under investigation by the OSP and has been placed on an INTERPOL Red Notice.

In a statement released by the family, they criticized the OSP’s actions, accusing the office of exceeding its legal authority and pursuing what they described as a “premeditated vendetta” against the former minister.

The family condemned the issuance of the Red Notice, describing it as a violation of due process, constitutional rights, and international legal standards. They revealed that formal petitions have been submitted to Ghana’s National Central Bureau and INTERPOL’s Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), requesting the immediate withdrawal of the notice.

According to the family, the Red Notice was issued based on manipulated evidence and the deliberate omission of crucial medical information.
