MONROVIA, March 6 (LINA) - The Grand Jury at the Criminal Court ‘C’ at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia has indicted Margareta Dorbor, a former Loan and Accounts officer of the Liberia Bank for Development and Investment (LBDI), on charges of theft of property, forgery and counterfeiting.

 
According to the indictment, the management of LBDI observed that between January and December 2010, defendant Dorbor allegedly stole money from various customer accounts both in United States and Liberian dollars.
 
Testifying at the court Friday, Dorbor denied the allegation against her, saying: “I did not withdraw L$147,000.00 from the Garnerville Savings Club account."
 
Dorbor in her testimony said she never served as a teller at the bank, but rather as a Loan and Accounts officer at the Garnerville branch of the bank.
 
She explained that her responsibility at the time was to open accounts for customers, noting that LBDI does not allow a third party to withdraw money from another person’s account.
 
Meanwhile, Presiding Judge Peter Gbenewelleh has said defendant Dorbor will continue her testimony on Tuesday, March 10 2015.
