The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has launched an investigation into 26 complaints related to corruption that were submitted last month. These complaints were part of a total of 39 that were received by FICAC in September and were assessed by the Legal & Prosecution Department.
During the assessment process, it was determined that 26 of the complaints pertained to corruption and were recommended for either a preliminary or a full investigation. The remaining 13 complaints were deemed non-corruption related and have been referred to the appropriate authorities.
Additionally, FICAC has brought charges in two cases involving a total of four individuals—three male and one female. The charges include two counts of Obtaining Financial Advantage, one count of General Dishonesty resulting in a Loss, one count of Conspiracy to Defraud leading to a Gain, and one count of Abuse of Office.
