The International Police Organisation (INTERPOL) has expressed its readiness to mount a decisive onslaught against money laundering activities in Ghana.Already, a system and equipment designed to track down the perpetrators of such criminal activities have been developed and will soon be deployed.The Secretary-General of INTERPOL, Mr Roland K. Noble, made the disclosure in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday.According to Mr Noble, the system would track, monitor and recover all bank accounts and property illegally acquired by high-ranking government and other officials.Mr Noble is attending the ninth meeting of the West African Police Chiefs Committee currently underway in Accra.He said INTERPOL was not happy with illicit acts by past and current governments and expressed the hope that the organisation would recover fraudulently acquired property.He said an advanced, state-of-the-art communication system had also been put in place to empower policemen to curb transnational organised crime world-wide.
The Global Communication System, he said, identified fingerprints, names and addresses, photographs and DNA profiles.
According to him, drug trafficking, which was currently the bane of the Africa continent, needed co-operation and collaboration among police service institutions in the West African sub-region to effectively combat.
Mr Noble noted that capacity building was key to equipping police forces in the discharge of their duties, adding that a facility named IQ47 had been put in place to train the police to communicate, analyse and take rapid decisions.This system, he said, had equipped many police officers in Africa who would later train their men in their various countries.Source: Daily Graphic
