The Serious Fraud Office is set to take criminal action against sports officials who were implicated in various acts of impropriety by the Justice Gbadegbe Commission.
The Gbadegbe Probe, which was tasked to probe certain questionable activities by sports officials in the administration of Football in Ghana, completed its findings last year.
The Commission also found out, among others, that some sums of money for player transfers were under declared by club officials.
Among those implicated in the probe are Nana Sam Brew Butler, the former Chairman of the Ghana Football Administration and current Chairman of Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs, Ade Coker, the former Vice Chairman of the GFA and current Chairman of Accra Great Olympics, Jones Abu Alhassan, GFA Member and management member of Tamale Real United and George Adusei Poku, former Chairman of Asante Kotoko and current Chairman of Swedru All Blacks.
Notable among the cases that the SFO is currently investigating is the Robert Boateng transfer from Asante Kotoko to Rosenburg of Norway for which the then Chairman of Asante Kotoko, George Edusei Poku declared only $250,000 out of the total amount of $800,000. Also implicated in the above deal is Nana Brew Butler who together with Edusei Poku had to refund about $350,000 to Kotoko.
The above officials have however appealed against the findings of the commission
