US War Crimes Investigators Crack Down On Allegations Of Witness Coaching

War crimes investigators in the United States are cracking down on alleged unethical behavior within certain groups. Specifically, Civitas Maxima and Global Justice and Research Project have come under scrutiny for reportedly coaching witnesses and tampering with evidence in war crimes cases.

Based in Washington DC, these investigators are intensifying their efforts to bring suspected war and economic criminals from Liberia to trial. Their primary objective is to ensure that the upcoming Liberian War Crimes activities are carried out with integrity and without any influence from parties involved in witness coaching.

In a notable case in London involving Agnes Taylor, allegations of witness coaching have surfaced, prompting US investigators to redouble their efforts to maintain ethical standards and pursue justice impartially and transparently. Similarly, in a case in Finland concerning a former Sierra Leonean rebel commander, Gibril Massaquoi who was falsely accused and maliciously prosecuted for war crimes he neither committed nor was in the country when the false allegations were made.  Twice he was acquitted on all charges by a Finish District Court and then by the Appeals Court and the latter clearly stated they did not believe the testimony of Hassan Bility.  His testimony changed every time he testified, similar allegations arose during previous testimony in other cases globally.

Also, during the Gbril Massaquoi trial in Liberia, it was revealed that Bility himself was a Rebel Leader and recruited Child Soldiers to fight during the civil war.  This has been well documented by the Liberian media.  He reportedly asked one witness, who he recruited as a child soldier and fought with him to lie under oath that the wound to his ear he suffered during a battle was the result of Agnes Reeves directing rebels to inflict the wound.  This was of course false and the former child soldier refused to testify.  Another witness was coached by Bility and to provide a false statement by a coached witness that he saw Agnes Reeves order to kill Amos Bohn a former Margibi Superintendent and witness the alleged murder.  However, Bohn fled Liberia in 1990 and currently is alive and lives in London, UK. These are a few of many allegations involving the global conspiracy to defraud numerous governments’ criminal justice systems for personal and financial gain.

This proactive stance being taken by US war crimes investigators underscores their unwavering commitment to upholding justice and integrity. By distancing themselves from any unethical conduct, they aim to ensure that legal proceedings remain impartial, allowing the truth to prevail. The upcoming Liberian trial represents a crucial step towards holding individuals accountable for war crimes and economic offenses, and the investigators are resolute in executing their duties in a professional and ethical manner.

This revelation raises serious concerns about the integrity of the war crimes court proceedings and the credibility of witness testimonies. The actions of Civitas Maxima, a group that should be advocating for justice and accountability, have instead undermined the pursuit of truth and hindered the court’s efforts to bring perpetrators of war crimes to justice.
