Monrovia Nora Finda Bondo, ex-President George Weah’s former Chief of Protocol, touched down at Roberts International Airport Tuesday and walked straight through immigration — no arrest, no questions — even with an active warrant hanging over her.
Court “C” charged Bondo with money laundering, theft, misuse of public funds, forgery, criminal conspiracy and facilitation. She arrived on an Air Peace flight and cleared RIA without incident, raising fresh doubts about how court orders are enforced at Liberia’s main border.
Records show she posted a US$435,560 property bond to secure her release, pledging several properties and agreeing not to travel abroad without court approval. The case was filed by the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Task Force and the Ministry of Justice as part of the government’s push to recover assets tied to corruption.
Now attention is turning to the Liberia Immigration Service and security agencies. No official has explained why the warrant wasn’t executed when Bondo landed.
Legal observers say the incident has reignited a hard question: Are Liberia’s anti-corruption laws applied equally, or do political connections buy a different lane at the airport?
