Speaking on his Sammy Flex TV program, he vehemently denied widespread allegations suggesting that the award-winning musician was involved in money laundering or any other criminal activity.
According to Sammy Flex, the matter at hand has nothing to do with money laundering but rather centers on tax-related issues.
He explained that concerns were raised about the taxes Shatta Wale paid following the purchase of his yello Lamborghini, in addition to other questions relating to his broader tax obligations across his businesses.
Sammy Flex stressed that Shatta Wale, known in private life as Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., voluntarily appeared before EOCO accompanied by his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to assist with ongoing investigations. He reassured fans and the general public that both Shatta Wale and his legal team are working around the clock to resolve the matter.
