CRIMINAL COURT “C” ACCEPTS $8 MILLION BOND FOR FORMER MINISTER TWEAH, TRIAL SET FOR NOVEMBER

Date:

MONROVIA, LIBERIA – Former Finance Minister Samuel D. Tweah, who is facing corruption charges, has secured his release after Criminal Court “C” accepted his bond today. The bond, valued at $8 million USD, was submitted after Tweah voluntarily turned himself in to authorities, marking a significant development in the high-profile case linked to his alleged embezzlement of millions during the administration of former President George Weah.

With the court’s acceptance of the bond, Tweah has been temporarily freed from custody and is now allowed to return home as he awaits his trial. The trial is scheduled to commence on November 12, 2024, where Tweah will face accusations of financial mismanagement and corruption that have drawn widespread public attention.

The charges against Tweah stem from allegations that he played a central role in the misappropriation of funds during his tenure as Finance Minister, a position he held under the Weah administration. The case is considered one of the most significant corruption trials in recent Liberian history, and the outcome could have far-reaching consequences for both Tweah and other former officials implicated in the scandal.

As the trial date approaches, all eyes will be on the court to see how the proceedings unfold and whether justice will be served in a case that has captivated the nation. Tweah’s legal team, headed by prominent lawyer Cllr. Arthur Johnson, will likely mount a strong defense as they prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial.
