Fiji Trades Union Congress National Secretary Felix Anthony has been acquitted of a charge of malicious acts.

It was alleged that Anthony spread by word of mouth false news relating to the expiry of Water Authority of Fiji worker contracts to Fiji Times reporter Felix Chaudhry which tended to create or foster public anxiety.

He was charged in 2019.

Anthony’s lawyer Nilesh Sharma says they had previously requested the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to review the evidence and withdraw the charge.
