Charges of Money Laundering, Theft of Property, Criminal Conspiracy Forgery and Criminal Facilitation.

The defendants include Jerman Tegli, Beyan Dadzi, Africanus Freeman, Robert Cummings, Angie Brooks, Kebbeh Kula Clark, Richard Gboyah, Victoria Yanguba, Aurelia Tamba, and Ngadi Warraty.
They were arrested and indicted early this year based upon a complaint filed by the manger of the First International Band.

The indictment indicated that between January 2012 and February 2013, the defendants who were serving in various capacities at the main branch of the FIB, approved overdraft amounts for over 211 accounts that were dormant, and thereafter withdrew the money from withdrawal slips filled in, approved and
signed without the knowledge and participation of the account holders.
This resulted in the loss of US$1,220,028.54 to the FIB.

Meanwhile, out of the ten persons, only seven appeared in court, but the court ordered the Sheriff to serve a precept on co-defendants Ngadi Warraty, Beyan Dazzie, warning that the failure of any of them to appear will leave the court with no alternative but to arrest and detain them until the trial is completed.
