Former Fijian Holdings Limited Board Director Joe Mar is expected to give evidence for the defence in the Laisenia Qarase FHL trial this morning.
Mar is currently in England and is expected to give evidence via Skype.
Three out of the six witnesses for Qarase have so far taken the stand in the trial.
Qarase is charged with 6 counts of abuse of office and three counts of discharge of duty with respect to property in which he has a private interest.
It is alleged that Qarase applied, and then facilitated and allowed the purchase of Class A FHL shares for certain companies when he was Director of FHL, Financial Advisor of the Fijian Affairs Board and Advisor to the Great Council of Chiefs.
The case relates to the allotment and issuance of the FHL shares to Cicia Plantation Co-op Society Limited, Mavana Investments Limited and Q-Ten Investments Limited.
