Monrovia: Circuit Judge A. Blamo Dixon of Criminal Court “C” has ordered the arrest of several former senior government officials in connection with a $6.2 million corruption and money laundering investigation.

The defendants are Samuel D. Tweah, former Minister of Finance and Development Planning, who has been a fugitive since July 30, 2024; Cllr. Nyenati Tuan, former Acting Minister of Justice and Solicitor General; Stanley S. Ford, former Director General of the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA); D. Moses P. Cooper, former Comptroller of the FIA; and Jefferson Karmoh, former National Security Advisor.
