The LRA says that it has observed that there is a grand syndicate in the production of fake revenue instruments including vehicle registration, driver’s license certificates, government flag receipts, customs documents, as well as business registration documents that were discovered during a two-days.
Two of those persons involved in the production of these fake revenue documents and robbing the country of legitimate revenues have been forwarded to the Liberia National Police for further investigation.
