**Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Seized in EOCO Operation Linked to US Fraudster** *By Big Stuff Media Ghana Staff* Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale has found himself at the centre of a high-profile financial crime investigation following the seizure of his 2019 Lamborghini Urus by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). The vehicle was allegedly linked to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a convicted fraudster currently serving an 86-month sentence in the United States for conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The seizure took place during a raid at Shatta Wale’s residence in Trassaco Valley Phase 1, Accra, in June 2025, despite the FBI’s request for action dating back to 2023. This operation was part of a broader effort by EOCO, in collaboration with the FBI and the US Department of Justice, to recover assets believed to be proceeds of crime. According to EOCO’s press release, the Lamborghini was identified as one of the assets purchased with funds from Amuah’s criminal enterprise, which involved sophisticated money laundering schemes.
Shatta Wale has denied any direct involvement with Nana Kwabena Amuah, stating, “I’m a third party involved with this car. I do not know any Nana Kwabena Amuah.” However, the primary concern for authorities is not his personal knowledge of the seller but the alleged criminal origin of the vehicle, which may have passed through multiple hands before reaching him.
This incident highlights the growing intersection of global financial crime with Ghana’s high-profile personalities. EOCO’s action underscores a commitment to tackling such issues, as evidenced by similar cases involving associates of Shatta Wale. For instance, Kofi Boat, a close associate of the musician, was arrested in a related operation by Interpol and the FBI for alleged involvement in a $100 million fraud scheme.
The broader context of this case reveals a disturbing trend of luxury assets being used to launder money. Recent reports indicate that police have intercepted and recovered 43 high-end luxury vehicles stolen from several countries and illicitly shipped into Ghana between January and July this year. This operation, led by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service in collaboration with international partners, further illustrates the scale of the problem.
While no charges have been brought against Shatta Wale at this time, the seizure adds a dramatic twist to the ongoing investigation. EOCO has identified the musician and a former senior officer of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) as persons of interest, stating that both individuals will be invited to assist with further inquiries in the coming days.
