Security agencies in Ghana have released a passport they say belongs to a Russian national accused of secretly filming women in the capital, Accra.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing and that they are working with international partners to explore lawful options, including cross-border cooperation and mutual legal assistance, to ensure the suspect is located and brought to justice.
International Cooperation Underway
Ghanaian officials indicated that efforts are being made to pursue the suspect through established international legal frameworks. This includes collaboration with foreign law enforcement agencies to facilitate possible extradition or prosecution.
The case has sparked widespread concern over privacy rights and the protection of women from exploitation.
Government Condemns Alleged Acts
The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection described the non-consensual recording and distribution of intimate images as a criminal offence and a violation of dignity and privacy.
Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to protecting victims and ensuring accountability for offences involving the unlawful capture and sharing of intimate content.
Investigations remain ongoing as security agencies work to determine the full scope of the alleged activities and any additional victims.
