Former transitional Chairman Gyude Bryant, former Speaker Edwin Snowe and three others are expected to appear before Judge Samuel Geevon-Smith at the Criminal Court 'C' on Friday.
Mr. Bryant will appear with four former officials of his transitional regime for economic crimes.
They include former Speaker Edwin Snowe, Senator Richard Divine, Siaka Sherriff and Andy Quamie.
Government jointly indicted the men last Friday for allegedly embezzling nearly a million United States Dollars from the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company.
Episcopal Bishop Jonathan Hart asked for their temporary release, until they get their bail bond ready.
This is the second indictment against Mr. Bryant who was last year detained for disrespecting a court precept.
Meanwhile, the trial of some former government officials indicted for economic crimes is expected to begin next Monday.
Former Finance Minister Lusene Kamara, Tugbeh Doe, and Pyne Wollo are in that group.
