Retired Judge GebeleinA visiting Superior Court Judge of the State of Delaware in the United States of America (USA) says for the government to be effective and efficient in its quest to recover stolen assets, there is a need for the creation of a specialized corruption court. Judge Gebelein came to Liberia under the auspices of the USAID funded Legal Professional Development and Anti-Corruption Program in Liberia (LPAC). By its nature, Judge Gebelein said, the court is about financial evidences that will involve expert witnesses and so, it is preferable to have judges mending the court that are well-trained in that area. “The court, if successful, can recover millions of United States dollars to run its affairs,” Gebelein believes. Judge Gebelein is married and has three grown children.
