The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission said Monday it closed dozens of fraud related cases reviewed between 2024 and 2025 because reasonable and appropriate evidence were not found to push for prosecution.
Public criticism has spiraled after LACC granted clean bill of health to 28 top ranking officials and businesspeople suspected of corruption.
The issuance of these clearances has been widely politicized and, in some instances, mischaracterized as an action intended to benefit a single individual, LACC Chairperson Alexandra Zoe told reporters in Monrovia.
“This interpretation is inaccurate and does not reflect the facts surrounding the Commission’s actions.
“The issuance of clearance is a standard administrative practice undertaken by the LACC following the conclusion of investigations where no evidence is found to establish wrongdoing or to support further legal action.
“In keeping with the principles of fairness, transparency, and due process, the Commission formally communicates the outcome of such investigations to the individuals concerned.
The Commission said clearances were granted to a number of individuals who were investigated by the Commission at different times and whose cases were concluded with findings that did not warrant prosecution or further action.
The following individuals were investigated, and the commission did not find probable cause to prosecute 2024-2025:
- Hasson A. Kobeissi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BMC Group Construction Company, Liberia Telecommunications Corporation Case

The Commission remains committed to conducting its work in a professional, impartial, and non-political manner. Our mandate is to investigate allegations of corruption wherever they arise and to ensure that matters are resolved based strictly on the evidence available.
The LACC therefore urges members of the public and the media to avoid politicizing the Commission’s routine administrative processes and instead support the broader national effort to strengthen integrity, accountability, and the rule of law in Liberia.
