Monrovia, Liberia – Criminal Court C has delivered a mixed verdict in the high-profile case involving former National Security Advisor to former President George Weah, Jefferson Karmoh.
Karmoh, who served as National Security Advisor during the administration of former President George Weah, was acquitted of major charges including theft of property, money laundering, and economic sabotage.
Despite clearing him of the most serious allegations, the court found him guilty of criminal facilitation.
As National Security Advisor, Karmoh occupied one of the country’s most influential security positions, advising the President on national security matters, intelligence coordination, and state security policies.
His role placed him at the center of key national decisions during the Weah administration.
The case attracted widespread public attention due to Karmoh’s former position in government and the nature of the allegations brought against him.
The ruling follows months of court proceedings, legal arguments, and public debate surrounding the matter. While supporters view the acquittal on the major charges as a significant legal victory, the conviction for criminal facilitation means the case remains consequential.
The court is expected to announce sentencing in the coming days, while both the prosecution and defense may consider further legal action, including a possible appeal.
