A number of companies have been blacklisted for allegedly aiding criminal activities in the current cases of state fraud being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Sierra Leone Police.
Chief Superintendent of police and head of the criminal investigations department said they believed that those companies were set up purposely to carry out the criminal activities of the indictees.
CSP Ibrahim Koroma said they were still searching for the signatories to the accounts of the companies which they believed were opened for the success of fraudulent activities.
He disclosed that they had obtained several documents from the Sierra Leone Commercial Bank, but were too voluminous to study in a hurry.
“We need time to go through it before breaking the chain so as to follow the path they took,” he said.
The blacklisted companies include The Premier Investment Company, Mayfaire Trading Company, a Chinese company known as ZZPT company, and the Integrated Engineering Company.
