Arrests and trials

In 2010, Mr Warner Habitami was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his involvement in the RITZ-scandal during the worst of the financial crisis. According to prosecutors, he had approved the concealment of hundreds of millions in losses. Habitami lied about the value of his bank’s transfer but other bankers behaved far worse. Habitami’s former employer, for one, had revised its past financial statements to account for these losses and more. Surprisingly, he would earn the distinction of being the only financial executive sent to jail for his part in the financial crisis. On 1 January 2019 the Meda Police reported that Mr Habitami escaped during transport to the courthouse.[5]
