Findings from review of Block 13 deal in Liberia submitted

Liberia's President George Weah this week insisted he would implement the findings of the Special Presidential Review Committee following an inquiry into corruption allegations surrounding the award of prized Block 13 to ExxonMobil, writes Barry Morgan.

Rights watchdog Global Witness alleged malfeasance by officials under several regimes before the farm-out by Canadian Overseas Petroleum Ltd to ExxonMobil.

The US supermajor later relinquished the asset.
