Kwabena Adu-Boahene's defence team intensified cross-examination of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)'s lead investigator over alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million in public funds. Frank Marshall Cromwell, the fourth prosecution witness and lead investigator, told an Accra High Court that the investigation was triggered by a tip-off alleging the diversion of public funds, and not by a formal complaint. He stated that investigations of that nature could be initiated through petitions, anonymous information or tip-offs.
