US Government sanctions liberian visa officer for ‘Significant Corruption’ - Pompeo

Washington, Sep 10 (Sputnik) - The US government has publicly designated a senior Liberian foreign affairs official for significant corruption in his involvement in immigration processes to the United States, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Thursday.
"Today, I am announcing the public designation of the former Director of Passport and Visas at the Liberian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andrew Wonplo due to his involvement in significant corruption," Pompeo said.
In his official capacity at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2018 to 2019, Wonplo was involved in passport fraud that undermined the rule of law, reduced the Liberian public’s faith in their government’s management of identification and travel documents and compromised the integrity and security of immigration processes, the statement said.
