The Criminal Court ‘C’ at the Temple of Justice has indicted former transitional Chairman Gyude Bryant and four others for theft and economic sabotage.


The other indictees are former Speaker Edwin Snowe, Senator Richard Divine, Mr. Shieka Sheriff and Andie Quamie.
 

The indictment followed a suit filed by government for money they allegedly embezzled at the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company during the transitional period.
 

The government accused Bryant, Snowe and others of embezzling US$923,500 from the refinery.
 

The amount includes US$214055 for alleged bribery and act constituting criminal conspiracy.
 

Mr. Snowe served as Managing Director while Devine and Sheriff served as deputies of the LPRC during the transitional period.
 

Mr. Quamie is an aide to former Speaker Snowe.
 

Under Liberian law, theft of property and economic sabotage are bailable offenses based on the submission of a valid bail bond.
