Former FNPF Execs Appear Before Judge
Former CEO FNPF Olota Rokovunisei and former executive Foana Nemani this appeared before Magistrate Aminiasi Katonivualiku while their lawyer Semi Leweniqila requested that the case be adjourned for full instructions to await disclosures.
The plea and the exact charges will be heard on the 9th of June as Leweniqila said he needed time to look through the disclosures.
FICAC prosecutor Filimoni Lacanivalu today agreed to bail for the two accused but on certain conditions, that is for $1,000 bail, that there be restrictions on travel abroad and for the two not to speak to witnesses.
Leweniqila then told the court that the conditions were rather harsh as the two are responsible citizens and both own properties around Suva.
Katonivualiku then released the two on $1,000 assurity without any restrictions.
The case has been adjourned to 9th June.
