MyJoyonline.Com reports that Special Prosecutor Martin Alamisi Amidu has identified the mysterious individual named in the £5 million Airbus scandal only as Goverment Official 1.
He said in his Office’s investigations of the scandal, he found that a former president is related in “full-blood” to one Samuel Adam Forster Mahama who played a role in the Airbus bribery scandal.
The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has issued a Red Notice for the British-based man also known as Samuel Adam Mahama for allegedly accepting bribe to influence a public officer.
Mr. Adam Mahama is also said to have acted in collaboration with a public officer for the public officer’s private gain in the purchase of the aircraft for the army.
Ghana is one of five countries in which the European aviation giant, Airbus, paid or attempted to pay millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for contracts, leading a court in Britain to slap a fine of £5 billion on the company.
In court documents and hearings, Airbus admitted five counts of failing to prevent bribery, using a network of secret agents to pay large-scale backhanders to officials in foreign countries, including Ghana, to land high-value contracts.
There is currently an Interpol red notice in place for Samuel Adam Forster Mahama.
