The economic sabotage case involving former LTA boss Albert Bropleh is expected to begin in Bomi County today.
Criminal Court C transferred the case to the 11th Judicial Circuit in Tubmanburg, during the May term of court.
The defense claimed at the time, publications labeling Mr. Bropleh thieve and criminal prior to his judgment, were major reasons for the transfer request.
Court C in its ruling agreed with the defense’s claim that local prejudice would have worked against its client if the case were to be tried in Montserrado.
The state in 2009 charged Mr. Bropleh for the misuse of public property, theft and illegal disbursement and expenditure of public fund.
Reports say a second defendant, Shirley Marsh, is expected to be tried along with Mr. Bropleh.
