According to the Daily Graphic, some sources at the Attorney General’s department said the task force had also traced the bank accounts the money was paid into.
“We are currently studying the docket to sift through to identify potential witnesses. There are middlemen involved and we need to interview as many of the victims and middlemen as possible to enable us to conduct effective prosecution,” the source said.
In a related development, the Special Task Force on March 20, 2015 submitted their report to the Police Council.
