Samuel D. Tweah Jr., former Liberian Minister of Finance and Development Planning, has been the subject of a high-profile corruption prosecution involving allegations of economic sabotage, theft of property, money laundering, criminal facilitation, and conspiracy related to the diversion of over US$6 million and L$1 billion in state funds during the George Weah administration.
In May 2026, a jury acquitted Tweah of all charges. However, on July 21, 2026, Judge Ousman F. Feika vacated this acquittal, citing proven jury tampering and misconduct, and ordered the arrest of all 15 jurors.
