Barely two weeks after being fined for being in possession of expired food products and potentially endangering the lives of Liberians, the Abi Jaoudi group of companies has again been slapped with yet another fine, this time by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA charged that the Abi Jaoudi and Azar Trading Company’s construction activities in that vicinity was in violation of the Environmental Protection and Management Law (EPML) part III Section 6 (count 1 &2) of the Republic of Liberia. He also called all companies operating within the country to comply with the Environmental Protection Management Law, in order to avoid future embarrassment. Meanwhile, an official of the Abi Jaoudi and Azar Trading company, Mr. George Abi Jaoudi, in response to queries from the Daily Observer has said in a text message that he is currently out of the country. The Supermarket was accused of violating the General Business Law and Public Health Law of Liberia.
