The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has dismantled a large-scale cryptocurrency fraud operation, recovering more than US$15 million in digital assets, the Attorney General has announced.
Attorney General Dominic Ayine said the scheme targeted both Ghanaians and foreign nationals and was run by an organised network operating through digital platforms.
He revealed the development on Thursday, December 18, 2025, during the Government Accountability Series.
According to Mr Ayine, investigators tracked the movement of illicit crypto assets across multiple channels before shutting down the operation. The recovered funds are currently in state custody, while investigations continue to identify other suspects and accomplices.
He described the operation as a major boost to Ghana’s efforts to combat economic and cybercrime, noting that the scale and sophistication of the scheme reflect the rapid evolution of digital fraud.
The Attorney General added that government remains committed to strengthening regulation and enforcement in the digital finance space to safeguard the public and preserve confidence in emerging financial technologies.
