A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker, Kwaku Asante Berko who also served as Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has been convicted for paying more than $1 million in bribes related to the development of a power plant in Ghana.
He went on trial in late July 2026 for allegedly bribing government officials in Ghana to secure the lucrative power plant deal for a client.
Asante Berko, 52, and his associates outside the bank are said to have paid high-ranking government officials in Ghana more than US$1 million in bribes a decade ago to approve the development and financing of the multimillion-dollar power plant, prosecutor Katherine Raut told a federal jury in Brooklyn, New York in her opening statement.
