Kwame Ohene Frimpong, the lawmaker for the Asante Akyem North constituency in Ghana, has been detained at Schipol Airport in the Netherlands amid an investigation linked to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Reports indicate that the investigation pertains to allegations of money laundering and a romance scam involving approximately $32 million. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the clerk to the Ghanaian parliament, confirmed the detention and stated that parliamentary leadership is coordinating with Ghana’s Mission in The Hague to gather further details. In a previous statement from October 2025, Frimpong denied any involvement in fraudulent activities, asserting that his name had been misused in a travel and visa scam.
