The Ashanti regional chairman of the New Patritic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is facing multiple criminal investigations involving serious charges such as fraud, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.
The update comes from a social media post by Justice Srem-Sai on May 29, 2025, a Deputy Attorney General and a respected legal practitioner, who revealed that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is leading the investigation.
According to the statement, EOCO’s work includes both criminal probes and asset recovery procedures aimed at preventing the dissipation of suspected illicit wealth.
“Suspect BERNARD ANTWI BOASIAKO, a.k.a. Chairman Wontumi, is under investigation for various criminal offences (including fraud, causing financial loss to the State, and money laundering),” Srem-Sai posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The post further disclosed that, in addition to domestic investigations, Wontumi is also a subject of a wider international probe.
EOCO is reportedly collaborating with global law enforcement agencies to investigate what is believed to be part of a broader international organized crime network.
This second strand of investigation highlights the potential transnational nature of the case, raising the stakes for both Wontumi and the agencies involved.
