Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Seized Over $4.7M US Fraud Case Linked to Convict in Ghana
Ghanaian music star Shatta Wale is in the spotlight after his luxurious Lamborghini was seized by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Ghana. The seizure followed a major fraud investigation by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The FBI linked the Lamborghini to a Ghanaian man, Prince Osei, who was recently convicted of fraud in the United States. Osei and his Nigerian partner were found guilty of running a romance scam and stealing over $4.7 million from people in the U.S.
After the conviction, U.S. authorities alerted EOCO in Ghana that Osei had sent money to buy luxury properties and cars in Ghana. This included the Lamborghini, which is now believed to be in Shatta Wale’s possession.
According to reports, Shatta Wale showed off the Lamborghini in videos earlier this year, claiming he had purchased it himself. However, investigators now say the car was brought into Ghana using fraudulent funds linked to Osei’s crime.
EOCO has since taken action by freezing the car and other assets connected to the case. The anti-crime agency says the move is part of a larger investigation to track money illegally moved into Ghana from abroad.
While Shatta Wale has not been accused of any crime at this point, the case has raised serious questions about how he came into possession of the car. Fans and media are now waiting for an official statement from him or his legal team.
This seizure is part of growing efforts between U.S. and Ghanaian authorities to stop international fraud and money laundering. EOCO says they are working closely with the FBI to return the stolen money and stop further financial crimes.
The case has shocked many Ghanaians, especially as Shatta Wale is one of the country’s most famous artists. The situation continues to develop, and more details are expected in the coming days.
