Liberian President George Weah, who succeeded Johnson Sirleaf thanks the United States for help in probing the missing money.

Charles Sirleaf, who was deputy governor of Liberia’s central bank, is one of five officials, including the bank’s ex-head Milton Weeks, who’ve been charged.

This follows the 16 billion Liberian dollars – about 1,4 billion rand – in new bank notes that went missing between 2016 and last year.

Most of it has since been found in the central bank vaults.

The court in Monrovia heard Sirleaf had allegedly ordered printing of the money and pockets some of the proceeds. 

The post Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s son charged with economic sabotage appeared first on Jean-Jacques Cornish.
