MONROVIA — Criminal Court ‘C’ has issued arrest and search warrants for former Deputy Minister and Chief of Protocol Finda Nora Bundoo and several associates after a government investigation into alleged illicit enrichment and suspicious real estate transactions.
The warrants, authorized by Judge Ousman F. Feika on November 5, follow a grand jury indictment based on findings from the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Task Force. Prosecutors allege that Bundoo, her daughter Anita Pamela Jallah, chief executive officer of Anita Group of Companies, and Gracious Ride manager Francis T. Blamo played central roles in acquiring properties and business assets believed to have been financed through public corruption.
More than two dozen individuals connected to the Anita Group network and related business entities were also named in the indictment. The charges include money laundering, theft of property, misuse of public funds, criminal conspiracy, forgery and criminal facilitation. The court directed law enforcement to “arrest the living bodies” of the accused and produce them before Criminal Court C to answer the charges.
In addition to the arrest order, the court authorized the search and seizure of properties linked to the defendants. The warrant lists Bundoo’s fenced compounds in Christopolis, Brewerville and Rehab, Paynesville; buildings linked to Blamo in Marshall and Zubah Town; and a residence tied to Deputy Minister for Administration Thelma E. Duncan Sawyer in Caldwell. Several other residential and commercial structures in Monrovia and its outskirts are also targeted for inspection and asset seizure as investigators work to trace the origin of the properties.
Early Friday, three defendants, Sawyer, G. Edmund Ponpon Jr. and Saah S. Johnson, were arrested and committed to the Monrovia Central Prison. They will remain in custody unless and until approved bail bonds are filed.
The remaining named defendants are still being sought.
