A press release issued by the agency and signed by its Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer, explained that the action followed a June 2025 operation. That operation was reportedly conducted in response to a 2023 request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice.

According to EOCO, the operation was carried out by its Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU), leading to the discovery and seizure of the luxury vehicle. The FBI and the US Justice Department have allegedly linked the car to proceeds from the criminal activities of Nana Kwaber Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month prison sentence in the United States for multiple financial offences.

EOCO further stated that Shatta Wale was unable to produce documentation confirming ownership or evidence demonstrating that he had lawfully purchased the vehicle.

He reportedly claimed that the seller had contacted him via WhatsApp, but that he no longer retained the person’s contact details.

The matter remains under legal review.
