INTERPOL dropped a Red Notice against former Ghanaian Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta due to political bias and lack of evidence, but Ghana continues its extradition efforts.
INTERPOL has permanently removed a Red Notice against former Ghanaian Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, citing its politically charged nature and non-compliance with INTERPOL’s neutrality rules.
The decision, made by INTERPOL’s Commission for the Control of Files on February 4, 2026, followed Ghana’s request for his arrest over alleged corruption in the SML procurement case.
The notice was deemed invalid due to polarized political discourse and the early stage of legal proceedings.
Ofori-Atta was arrested in the U.S. on January 6, 2026, prompting the OSP to initiate extradition efforts under the Extradition Act, 1960.
Legal steps, including sending court summons to the U.S., are ongoing.
The OSP reaffirmed its commitment to due process and evidence-based prosecution, stating the removal does not halt the case.
