The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced that it is actively pursuing several corruption-related cases in court as the legal year resumes, with additional prosecutions expected before the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post on Sunday evening, the anti-graft body said it is currently prosecuting a number of cases on behalf of the public and hinted that \u201cmore cases will be filed in the last quarter of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The OSP also revealed that seven individuals were convicted earlier this year through plea bargains, underscoring what it described as steady progress in its mandate to investigate and prosecute corruption and corruption-related offences.<\/p>\n

The post comes as the courts reopen after their annual vacation, signalling the resumption of hearings on several high-profile corruption cases that have drawn public attention.<\/p>\n

The Office listed specific cases currently before the courts in its efforts to hold individuals accountable for corruption and financial misconduct in both public and private institutions.<\/p>\n

Some of the prominent cases cited by the OSP include former National Petroleum Authority (NPA) boss Mustapha Abdul-Hamid and nine others; Public Procurement Authority (PPA) boss Adjenim Boateng Adjei and Charles Bissue, and two others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
