利比里亚法院已将前副总统朱厄尔·霍华德-泰勒收押至蒙罗维亚的监狱等待审判，并驳回了其以健康为由提出的保释请求 1。霍华德-泰勒于2018年至2024年担任利比里亚副总统，于8月19日在罗伯茨国际机场试图离境时被捕 1。她面临与跨国可卡因贩毒网络相关的多项指控，涵盖毒品走私与洗钱等罪名，并与另外三名被缺席起诉的外国公民一同受审 1。
霍华德-泰勒的律师称指控出于政治动机 1。调查方称有旅行记录、录音和证人证词等证据支持 1。上月，利比里亚当局查获并销毁约4.2公吨可卡因，街头价值估计约3.17亿美元 1。
Liberia’s former Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, who served from 2018 to 2024, has been remanded in prison in Monrovia to await trial on charges including drug trafficking and money laundering 1. A court rejected her request for bail on health grounds 1. Howard-Taylor was arrested on August 19 at Roberts International Airport while attempting to leave the country 1. She faces multiple charges linked to an international cocaine trafficking network alongside three foreign nationals who have been indicted in absentia 1.
Her defense attorney argued that the charges are politically motivated 1. However, investigators maintain that the case is supported by evidence such as travel records, audio recordings, and witness testimonies 1. The arrest follows a major drug bust last month, when Liberian authorities seized and destroyed approximately 4.2 metric tons of cocaine with an estimated street value of $317 million 1.
