FIC orders freezing of Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s bank accounts over money laundering probe

The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has ordered the freezing of bank accounts linked to Richard Nii Armah Quaye as part of an investigation into tax liabilities and money laundering allegations.

According to a confidential directive intercepted by Classfmonline.com, the FIC has also frozen the accounts of Bills Micro-Credit, Quick Credit and Investment, Richard Nii Armah, and Romeo-Richlove Kweku Seshie.

The directive, issued to banks holding these accounts, cites Section 56(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020 (Act 1044) as the legal basis for the action.

“You are hereby directed to immediately freeze all accounts concerning the above names,” the FIC instructed in its notice to financial institutions.

The move is part of ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes and enforce strict compliance with anti-money laundering regulations in Ghana.
