Charles Sirleaf, son to Liberia’s first female president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is due in court on Monday because of an investigation into the missing of the Liberian Central Bank’s banknotes.

Charles held a senior post at the bank until last August, and was arrested last week alongside other two bank executives.

Milton Weeks, the bank’s former governor until he stepped down when President George Weah took power in January 2018, surrendered to police on Friday.

A police source said that the three men would appear in court on Monday.

A report from Kroll Associates dismissed rumours that a container Liberian dollars worth US$102 million printed in Sweden had gone missing during transfer to the central bank.

It raised concerns “regarding the overall accuracy and completeness” of the bank’s internal records and found evidence of “systemic and procedural weaknesses”.
