Monrovia – The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) is collaborating with the Major Crimes Department of the Liberia National Police (LNP) in the conduct of a criminal investigation into another revenue fraud alerted by the International Bank Liberia, Ltd. (IBLL). The amount of about US$11,062.71 is the subject of this latest revenue fraud discovery. The IBLL also alerted Afriland First Bank of the potential revenue fraud at which time the Afriland Bank flagged the account. Investigation revealed that the two checks were altered and deposited at the Afriland First Bank in the W. Joe General Business Center’s account, instead of the General Revenue Account. Meanwhile, the account holder of the W. Joe General Business Center’s account, Joe Williams, is on the run, while staffs who handled the manager’s check within the two institutions are also facing criminal related interrogation.
