The lawyers of former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and suspended Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho, Devanesh Sharma and Gul Fatima and supporters have arrived at court premises.

DPP is yet to file the charge with the Magistrates Court Registry.

Bainimarama and Qiliho have not been brought to court yet.

They have been charged with abuse of office.

The charges relate to a complaint laid with the police by the University of the South Pacific in July 2019 in relation to the activities of former staff members of the university.

The DPP says Bainimarama and Qiliho are alleged to have arbitrarily and in abuse of the authority of their respective offices, terminated an active police investigation. The police have also been requested to undertake further investigations into other matters arising from this case and more charges may be laid against other suspects in due course.
