EOCO: Shatta Wale Failed to Provide Proof of Lamborghini Ownership
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has confirmed that Ghanaian dancehall star Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., popularly known as Shatta Wale, was interrogated in connection with a 2019 Lamborghini Urus tied to a $4 million fraud case in the United States.
The luxury vehicle, flagged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was seized in Ghana after being traced to the musician. Investigators say Shatta Wale failed to produce receipts or transfer documents proving ownership of the car, instead citing a seller identified only as “ZAK” on WhatsApp.
Following his questioning, Shatta Wale was granted bail of GHS 10 million with two sureties.
His public relations officer, Samuel Atuobi Baah (Sammy Flex), has since dismissed media speculation that the matter involves money laundering. According to him, the case is strictly related to tax obligations on the vehicle.
“Our legal team is engaging the authorities to resolve this issue. Shatta Wale remains committed to clearing his name,” Sammy Flex assured in a press statement.
The development adds another twist to the ongoing probe, which has drawn international attention due to its links with U.S. law enforcement.
