The Government of Liberia incurred an extra printing cost of US$835,367.78. However, CRANE in its first reaction to the allegation, stated in a press release that there have been no charges levelled against them by the Liberian government. “Crane has not been charged with any crime in Liberia, and at all times Crane has operated in full compliance with the law and rejects completely any allegation of wrongdoing,” Crane noted in the release. The currency printing firm further denied allegations of receiving kickbacks to violate the contract with the Government of Liberia. The CBL procured the services of Crane AB for both contracts without adhering to its own internal tendering policies for procurement, the report said.
