EOCO freezes 95 luxurious cars; directs owners to report before May 3

The Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has announced that some Ninety-Five(95) luxurious cars have been frozen by its Executive Director.

These cars which are in the possession of some individuals and car dealerships are to be brought to the offices of EOCO no later than May 3, 2023.

Owners of these vehicles are expected to come along with the needed documents.

During the operation, which took place on December 9, 2022, thirty-seven (37) of the cars were retrieved from garages in Accra.

Ten (10) people were also arrested in the process.

The suspects have since been questioned and granted bail.
