More to be questioned in alleged mutiny plot
A special taskforce set up to investigate the allegation has interviewed more than thirty people and so far only two people have been charged.
The taskforce led by Senior Superintendent Waisea Tabakau is expected to take in some people for questioning soon.
When contacted this afternoon, SSP Tabakau refused to divulge any information.
Meanwhile, the bail application of Former Police Directors of Intelligence Special Branch, Rusiate Tuidravu and Berenando Kolinio who are alleged to have conspired to remove Police Commissioner Commodore Esala Teleni will be heard on Monday.
Tuidravu and Kolinio have been charged with allegedly conspiring to commit a felony, namely mutiny, and both pleaded not guilty to the charge.
It is alleged that the two accused conspired between the 15th October 2009 to January 2010 to remove Police Commissioner Commodore Esala Teleni from office.
DPP lawyer Aca Rayawa made an application to remand the two in custody and not to grant them bail.
SSP Tabakau told the court that the two accused should be kept in police custody as they have sufficient evidence against the two.
Magistrate Kaweendra Nayankara then adjourned the case saying that a decision will be made on Monday and also issued a suppression order to suppress further information relating to certain issues in the case from being made public at this stage.
