Ken Ofori-Atta has been put on INTERPOL Red notice database
Ken Ofori-Atta, the former finance minister, has been formally added to INTERPOL’s Red Notice database after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) reiterated its request.
This step bolsters attempts to bring the former minister to justice and coincides with ongoing corruption investigations.
On June 6, 2025, the Red Notice was released, stating that Ofori-Atta is a 65-year-old male Ghanaian who was born in Accra on November 7, 1959. Standing at 1.7 meters, he has dark eyes and hair and speaks Twi and English.
INTERPOL reports that he is wanted for “Using Public Office for Profit.” The OSP is looking for international cooperation to find and temporarily arrest him while awaiting extradition or voluntary surrender because they believe he is now in the United States for medical treatment.
