Notorious Fraudster Remanded in Prison Over Alleged $50,000 Gold Fraud

Emerson Bockarie Senessie, a man with a notorious reputation for fraudulent activities, has been remanded in prison following his second court appearance before Magistrate Wilbrie John at Pademba Road Court No. 7.

Senessie faces two serious charges: conspiracy to defraud and obtaining money by false pretenses, as outlined under Section 32(1) of the Larceny Act of 1916. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to defraud Mary Theresa Kamara of $50,000.

According to court documents, between February 17 and June 7, 2024, Senessie conspired with unknown accomplices in Liberia to deceive Kamara into believing he would purchase and ship gold to her in the United States. The accusation indicates that Senessie knew this promise was false but proceeded with the intent to defraud.

During the court proceedings, Senessie denied the allegations by pleading not guilty. Despite his plea, Magistrate Wilbrie John ordered his remand and set the next court date for further hearing.
