The transcripts of the trial of Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia. More…
Mr Taylor, I want to remind you about testimony you gave about money given from Taiwan just a short time ago, 26 November. If Mr Taylor could be shown page 32633. Sir, you were asked on that day by myself:
"Q. After you became President did you receive any further
assistance - money from Taiwan?
A. Personally no, but the government yes. And, by the
way, Taiwan even before I became President had diplomatic
recognition with the Republic of Liberia even before I
became President.
Q. They probably paid money to President Doe for that,
correct?
A. I don't know. I can't comment on that. I don't know.
Q. But after you became President you received no further
funds?
A. Personally, no."
