OSP recovers over GHC1 million from Labianca Foods

The OSP has also called for wider investigations into Customs Division of the GRA and demanded for a copy of Integrity plans to prevent corruption

The Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) has recovered over GHC1 million from Labianca Foods, belonging to Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh,  in unpaid import duties, an official report has said.

The amount represents a shortfall in import duties the frozen foods company paid to the state.

In a 12-paged report, the OSP accused Asomah-Hinneh of influence-peddling for allegedly using her position as a member of the council of state and member of the board of directors of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) to get a favourable decision from the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), which led to a reduction in the tax liabilities of Labianca Limited.

The report also indicted a deputy commissioner of Customs in charge of Operations, Joseph Adu Kyei, for issuing what it described as unlawful customs advance ruling which reduced the benchmark values of the frozen foods imported by Labianca Limited, thereby reducing the company’s tax obligations to the state.

The OSP has also called for wider investigations into Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and demanded for a copy of integrity plans to prevent corruption.
