According to his lawyer Andy Appiah-Kubi, Wontumi is expected to return to EOCO for further questioning on Wednesday, June 4, and again on Monday, June 9, 2025.

He made this known on Accra-based Neat FM’s morning show.

The Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Justice Srem-Sai has revealed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi is under investigation for fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

Justice Srem-Sai also revealed that Wontumi is also being investigated for an International organised crime scheme.

The Deputy Attorney General noted that EOCO is assiduously working with our international law enforcement partners on the second strand of criminal investigations.

According to Justice Srem-Sai, the ongoing investigation is being handled by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), with asset recovery efforts already underway to secure suspected proceeds of crime.

Meanwhile, a member of the legal team Chairman Wontumi, Enoch Afoakwa has stated they will respond when charges are filed against their client.

According to Enoch Afoakwa, Wontumi has a reasonable defence to respond to any charges that may arise from ongoing investigations.

Speaking on Channel One, Enoch Afoakwa stated, “Every reasonable person facing a law enforcement agency who is diligent in his dealings and believes in his actions has a reasonable defence to the allegations that is being peddled or that has been levelled against him, of which he is being investigated upon.

“This is an aspect that we don’t want to put our cast out. We await the official charge from the law enforcement officers if they really want to proceed on that tangent, then from there we will know what actions we will take,” he stated.
