Foreign national Aiden Alec Hurtado’s re-trial will commence this morning before High Court Judge Justice Thushara Rajasinghe.
The trial could not start yesterday as an interpreter was not available.
Hurtado is alleged to have imported 20.5kg of cocaine into Fiji without lawful authority.
Meanwhile the Fiji Court of Appeal had earlier ordered that Hurtado's acquittal be set aside and also ordered his case to be re tried before a differently constituted bench.
