Interpol Deletes Red Notice Against Ken Ofori-Atta

International===Interpol has permanently deleted a Red Notice against Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana's former Minister for Finance, following a determination by the Commission for the Control of International===Interpol's Files (CCF) that the notice was of a 'predominantly political character' and non-compliant with International===Interpol's rules. The Red Notice was initially issued in June 2025 at the request of Ghana's Ghana===Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which is investigating Ken Ofori-Atta for alleged corruption and related offenses, including causing financial loss to the state through a contract with Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited. Despite the deletion of the Red Notice, the OSP continues its efforts to secure Ken Ofori-Atta's appearance in Ghana to answer multiple criminal charges. Summons from the Criminal Division of the High Court in Accra have been transmitted for service in the United States, where Ken Ofori-Atta was arrested on January 6, 2026, and extradition processes have been initiated. The CCF cited 'polarised political statements' and public controversy surrounding the prosecutorial and extradition processes as contextual factors for its decision.
