In August 2025, officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office seized a yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus from Shatta Wale’s residence following a formal request from U.S. authorities. The action formed part of an asset recovery operation linked to a multi-million-dollar fraud case.

Investigators indicated that the vehicle was connected to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian national convicted in the United States for his role in a fraud and money-laundering scheme valued at about $4 million. The operation was carried out in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Authorities said Shatta Wale was present when officials visited his residence and later handed over the vehicle after being briefed on the nature of the investigation. The car was listed among assets believed to have been purchased with proceeds from fraudulent activities.
