# Liberia: Tweah's Acquittal Faces Legal Challenge
A jury acquittal of former Liberian Finance Minister Samuel D. Tweah Jr. and Financial Intelligence Agency Comptroller Moses P. Cooper in a US$6.2 million economic sabotage case has encountered an unexpected obstacle. Criminal Court "C" is now engaged in what has been described as a deepening constitutional standoff regarding the finality of the verdict, throwing the acquittal's status into doubt weeks after the jury reached its decision.
The nature of the constitutional dispute and the parties involved in the standoff remain unclear from available reports. The development represents a significant turn in the case, which had appeared to reach conclusion with the jury's acquittal of both defendants.
The situation underscores potential tensions within Liberia's judicial system regarding verdict enforcement and constitutional procedures in high-profile economic cases.
