Asante Kwaku Berko, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Ghana, faces charges in Brooklyn federal court for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and money laundering.
He allegedly orchestrated bribes to secure a lucrative power plant deal in Ghana, using U.S. financial channels for illicit transactions.
Extradited from the UK following his arrest under an Interpol notice, Berko’s case underscores international cooperation against corruption.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace emphasized combatting bribery, thanking UK authorities for their role.
The FBI highlighted Berko’s alleged exploitation of financial systems, jeopardizing fair competition and national integrity in Ghana.
