The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) is currently investigating 26 complaints related to corruption that were submitted last month. These complaints were part of a total of 39 lodged with FICAC in September and have been reviewed by the Legal & Prosecution Department.
During the review process, it was determined that 26 of the complaints pertained to corruption and have been recommended for either preliminary or full investigations. The remaining 13 complaints were found to be unrelated to corruption and will be referred to the appropriate authorities.
In addition, FICAC has formally charged two cases involving four individuals. Among the accused, three are males and one is a 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.
