Criminal Court ‘C’ is expected to reopen criminal proceedings on the allegation of theft, involving the Guaranty Trust Bank Liberia Limited and the government of Liberia this Monday.
Monday’s hearing according to our correspondent was through notice of assignments to both government and Defense Lawyers.
The matter in question was earlier dismissed by the Court this year, for some procedure errors, prompting prosecuting lawyers to move to obtain a new indictment from the Grand Jury of Montserrado County consistent with Chapter 15, Section 15.12 of the Criminal Procedure of Liberia.
The Bank was indicted based on a complaint filed by a Liberian Legal Practitioner, Cllr. George Kailondo on behalf of his business institution, Kialondo Petroleum, Inc.
Cllr. Kailondo claimed that the GT Bank reportedly stole over 900 Thousand United States Dollars, from his Company’s accounts between the periods of 2014 to 2016.
Our Judicial Correspondent further revealed that the Bank is also before the Commercial Court for allegedly stealing over 10 Million Liberian Dollars from former Central Bank Deputy Governor for Operation, Charles Sirleaf’s accounts.
