The Ghanaian musician was detained on the purchase of Lamborghini

His administration said that the famous Ghanaian musician Chata Will was detained in a tax investigation linked to the purchase of a luxury car.

The yellow Lamborghini of Wale was seized earlier this month at the request of the United States, which claimed that the car was linked to the proceeds of a criminal institution.

It is claimed that the network included another Ghanaian, Nana Kobina Amua, who is serving a seven -year prison sentence in the United States for fraud.

The Wale administration did not mention the United States’ allegations in their statement, saying instead that the artist was detained on “tax obligations”.

In a statement posted on social media, the Whale team said that it “voluntarily presented itself” to the Economic Crime Office in Ghana (EOCO) on Wednesday afternoon.

EOCO has not yet responded to the BBC for comment.

Will, the real name Charles Ni Arma, is one of the most well -known stars in Ghana.

He built a very successful profession on the sound of Jamaica dance, and strengthened his global file by collaborating with Beyonce in her 2019 song.

After Lamborghini had been seized earlier this month in an investigation associated with Nana Kwabena Amuah, Wale denied a knowledge or communication of the Ghani.

He said that he was a “third party owner” for a car worth $ 150,000 (110,000 pounds) and that he does not know who has shipped it to the country.

EOCO said the car will be returned to the United States to help restore Amuah’s victims.

American court records showed that Mamoa and his employees have fled to defrauds nearly 70 public and private organizations throughout the country.

On Wednesday, the Wale administration urged the fans to remain calm and avoid speculation while the musician remained in detention.

“We want to assure all the fans and the general public that its legal team is working completely and actively with the authorities to solve this matter,” the statement said.

Wale is part of a wider process – Ghana is working with the United States to dismantle an international fraud network targeting Americans.

This month, the FBI and the US Department of Justice delivered it and arrested three Ghanaian citizens claiming to be the mastermind of a $ 100 million fraud scheme, which involves romantic fraud and hunting attacks.
