According to Carter, details of the arrest of Charles Sirleaf, deputy Governor of the CBL, and Hagba will be provided later.
However, the Presidential Investigative Committee says that the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) reported L$ 15,5 billion in banknotes as the total amount printed and shipped by CRANE Currency and received by the CBL between July 2016 and April 201.
The packing lists submitted by the CBL revealed that L$2, 645,000,000 is yet to be
fully accounted for by the Central Bank of Liberia.
According to Alex Cuffy, a member of the Presidential Investigative Team, over 1,500 exhibits have been presented to the Ministry of Justice for perusal.
In his report Cuffy, said the L$10 billion printed by CRANE was not authorized by the National Legislature, explaining that in 2016 the CBL was authorized by both houses of the bicameral legislature to print L$5 billion.
He however explained that the contract between the CBL and CRANE Currency AB, an American printing company with offices in Sweden, was consummated prior to the legislature’s decision, stressing that the CBL did not abide by international best practice in selecting CRANE Currency to print both the authorized and unauthorized new Liberian dollar banknotes.
According to Cuffy, CBL did not inform former president Johnson Sirlaf of the final decision to print the additional L$10 billion that was not requested.
According to report, Mr. Charles Sirleaf and Hagba were arrested Thursday by officers of the Liberia National Police shortly after Cuffy released the report.
