Ruling Unity Party Chair Sen. H. Varney G. Sherman, Ernest C.B. Jones and Nigerian national Christopher Onanuga are jointly asking Criminal Court “C” at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia to dismiss prosecution’s indictment drawn against them over claims that it is belated.
“... Since the Republic of Liberia (prosecution) did not obtain an indictment for them on or before September 16, 2015, the time limitation for the alleged crimes has passed. That is, all four (4) criminal charges (bribery, economic sabotage, criminal facilitation and criminal solicitation) are barred forever.
And co-defendants/movants pray Your Honor to rule that the trial for the crimes are barred by the statute of limitations,” the indictees said. The Grand Cape Mount County Senator Cllr. Sherman, Mr. Jones and Mr. Onanuga are raising arguments that the maximum period prosecutors had to commence legal action against them for charges of bribery, criminal conspiracy, economic sabotage, criminal solicitation and criminal facilitation is five years, which they argued, required indictment on or before September 16, 2015. ALSO,before Bribery and Corruption Act came in in the UK. So, UK can not do anything too. This is starting to look good guys, as I always thought it would ;)
