Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has urged key global players in the battle against cross-border economic and financial crimes to intensify their collaborative efforts to eradicate this escalating global issue.
Mr Dame emphasized that, the survival of the global community hinges on its ability to foster strong partnerships among justice entities to effectively combat international crime.
He made this appeal while delivering the keynote address at the 41st Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime, held at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
“Considering the motives and methods employed by financial criminals, the Republic of Ghana has undertaken significant institutional reforms, including the development of a robust legal framework, to trace criminal assets and prevent wrongdoers from benefiting from their illicit activities.
“I refer to the Economic and Organised Crimes Office Act of 2011, which established the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) as an agency tasked with preventing and detecting organised crime and facilitating the confiscation of proceeds from criminal activities,” Mr Dame stated.
