OSP Asks INTERPOL To Withdraw Red Notice Against Mahama’s Brother

The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has officially closed the investigation into the Airbus scandal, after finding no evidence of criminal conduct by any individuals involved.

This comes after the OSP exonerated former President John Dramani Mahama and his brother Samuel Mahama of any wrongdoing in the Airbus scandal.

The case, which involved alleged bribery by Airbus SE in the sale of military transport aircraft to Ghana between 2009 and 2015, has officially been terminated, and no criminal proceedings will be instituted, according to the Special Prosecutor.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has also rescinded arrest warrants and notified INTERPOL of the withdrawal of the Red Notice against four individuals linked to the case.

“The Special Prosecutor has directed the closure of the OSP investigation into alleged bribery of high-ranking Ghanaian officials by Airbus SE, through intermediaries, in respect of the sale of military transport aircraft by Airbus SE to the Republic of Ghana between 2009 and 2015.”

“The OSP would not institute criminal proceedings against any person in respect of this investigation. The Special Prosecutor has also directed authorised officers of the OSP to rescind the 13 May 2020 warrants of arrest obtained from the Circuit Court, Accra for the arrest of Samuel Adam Foster (also known as Samuel Adam Mahama), Philip Sean Middlemiss, Leanne Sarah Davis, and Sarah Furneaux.”

“On 8 August 2024, the Special Prosecutor notified INTERPOL of the withdrawal of the Red Notice in respect of Samuel Adam Foster (also known as Samuel Adam Mahama), Philip Sean Middlemiss, Leanne Sarah Davis, and Sarah Furneaux.”
