Former Chief Executive Officer of Fijian Holdings Limited, Mohammed Nouzab Fareed who is facing 3 counts of indecent assault, has been granted bail by Chief Magistrate Usaia Ratuvili.
State lawyer Kimberly Semisi had no objection to bail but wanted Fareed to surrender his travel documents and to produce two sureties.
A stop departure has also been imposed and Fareed has been ordered not to change his residency.
The case will called on the 25th of next month where Fareed will take his plea.
Police Chief of Intelligence and Investigations, ACP Biu Matavou earlier confirmed that the first 2 counts of indecent assault is in relation to the first complainant who alleged Fareed allegedly committed the offence on 2 separate occasions in the months of June and September 2019.
He says the third count of indecent assault is in relation to the second complainant who alleged Fareed allegedly committed the offence in May 2019.
This is in relation to the two women who made allegations against Fareed.
Audio recordings of Fareed allegedly speaking to one of the complainants and former FHL worker at the time of the alleged incident had also gone viral a few weeks ago. The woman had earlier said that she had earlier taken the matter up to the FHL board.
Fareed resigned after an FHL board meeting on December 20th last year.
