A Liberian court has issued arrest warrants for more than 40 individuals, including a former senior government official, in connection with a sweeping investigation into alleged financial crimes totaling millions of dollars.
Criminal Court “C” in Monrovia ordered the arrest of former President George Weah, Chief of Protocol Nora Finda Bundoo, and her daughter Anita Jallah, among others, following accusations of money laundering, theft of property, and misuse of public funds. The charges stem from an investigation by Liberia’s Assets Recovery Task Force, which claims that over US$6 million and L$800 million were illicitly funneled through companies linked to Bundoo and Jallah.
Madam Bundoo is said to be out of Liberia in Turkiye.
The defendants face a range of charges, including money laundering, criminal conspiracy, forgery, and criminal facilitation. The Sheriff of Montserrado County has been directed to apprehend the accused and present them before the court.
This case marks one of the most high-profile anti-corruption actions in Liberia in recent years, as authorities intensify efforts to recover allegedly stolen public assets and restore trust in government institutions.
