Court Orders RIA to Produce Evidence in $19.2 Million Cocaine Case

The 13th Judicial Circuit Court for Margibi County has issued a Writ of Subpoena Duces Tecum, ordering the management of Roberts International Airport (RIA) to produce surveillance footage and cargo documentation related to the seizure of approximately 237.6 kilograms of cocaine valued at over $19.2 million.

The court's order stems from a petition filed by the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) as part of its ongoing investigation into the massive cocaine seizure discovered at the airport earlier this month.

The writ, signed by Clerk of Court Edward N. Boakai and issued under the authority of Resident Circuit Judge Victoria Worlobah Duncan, directs RIA management to appear before the court on June 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., and produce all relevant records connected to the case.

This development underscores Liberia's commitment to combating drug trafficking and ensuring thorough investigations into such significant cases.
