"The investigators said he had been granted bail for 10 million cedi (roughly 800,000 or $900,000) and would leave detention once his guarantors were verified. "Charles Nii Armah Mensah, aka Shatta Wale was invited by EOCO to assist in investigations surrounding a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, a car identified by the FBI and US Justice Department as proceeds of a $4 million crime involving, one Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian who is currently serving jail time in the US," the EOCO said in a statement published on Thursday."
"The EOCO said it identified and seized the Lamborghini SUV "in or around May this year" after being asked to track down the vehicle by US authorities. The Urus is a four wheel drive performance SUV, the first car of its kind made by the Italian company better known for its supercars.

Shatta Wale was taken into custody in Accra as EOCO investigates his purchase of a 2019 Lamborghini Urus identified by US authorities as linked to proceeds from an alleged $4 million crime. The SUV was located and seized after a US request. Investigators said he was granted bail of 10 million cedi and would be released once guarantors were verified. Wale publicly claimed to have bought the car for $150,000 from an unidentified party and his lawyers say he was unaware of any criminal links. The case forms part of a broader probe into an alleged crime network targeting US citizens.
