Communication Ministry Go After All Individuals Who Shared Russian Sexual Exploitation Videos
The Ministry for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations says it intends to extend the probe to any individuals, whether foreign or Ghanaian, who may have redistributed the illegal material from the alleged sexual exploitation by a Russian.
In a statement issued on February 18, 2026, it stated that such actions constitute criminal offences under Ghanaian law.
It thereby urged the public to refrain from sharing or redistributing the illegal material.
“President John Dramani Mahama’s government remains committed to safeguarding the dignity, privacy, and rights of all citizens and will provide further updates as investigations progress,” it noted.
The suspect, identified as Vladislav Luilkov, non-consensually recorded and shared his intimate period with dozens of Ghanaian women.
The case is being treated as a cybercrime under Ghanaian law, as the suspect allegedly recorded private encounters without consent for publication and subsequently monetised the content through online platforms.
Authorities have initiated steps to trace digital and financial evidence linked to the case. The Ministers emphasised that the matter is not one of morality or private relationships but a clear criminal offence under Section 67 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
In addition, a diplomatic and international law enforcement cooperation, including engagement with INTERPOL and relevant security agencies, has been triggered.
