That is not the case. The Judiciary has not lost any such funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CJ\u2019s office further said the reports of corruption are of significant concern to the Judiciary as they create the impression that the Judiciary has stolen or defrauded of the said amount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat appeared to be an attempt to defraud the Judiciary was discovered by the Judiciary in 2021, and necessary actions were taken accordingly. The intervention of the Central Bank and Senior Management of the Judiciary thwarted the attempted fraud,\u201d the statement from the CJ\u2019s office read.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CJ\u2019s office, the Judiciary reported the matter to the police on the 15th December 2021 and the staff member concerned was sent home pending the conclusion of Police investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Police spokesperson, Cadet ASP Binta Njie, has confirmed that the Police special investigations unit has completed its investigation into the alleged fraud and submitted its report to the Attorney General\u2019s chambers for legal advice.
