A senior executive of the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service is under investigation for allegedly approving the payment of the legal fees of a suspended executive earlier charged by the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Fijivillage has received information that FICAC has been investigating the senior executive for the past few weeks.
We have received information that the senior executive’s computer has also been assessed.
It is alleged that at least one of the former Revenue and Customs Service board members may have also been involved in approving the payment of the legal services.
It is understood this is also under investigation although the former board member has left the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service board already.
They are also trying to get documentary evidence to show who approved the payment.
No comments have been made by FRCS.
FICAC will not make any comments at this stage.
