MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) - The former president has been charged with stealing more than $1 million from Liberia's coffers while in office, government officials said Wednesday.
Gyude Bryant, who led the interim government from October 2003 until current President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf took office in January 2006, had previously been accused of embezzlement in a report issued by the Economic Community of West African States.
Police had questioned Bryant in recent months as part of a wide anti-corruption campaign, and government officials said they finally had enough information to issue charges.
