Former Land Force Commander Pita Driti will reappear in the Suva High Court today for mitigation and sentencing submissions.

Driti is currently remanded in custody as he awaits his sentencing.

Presiding judge Justice Paul Madigan rejected the opinion of the three assessors last month and found 53-year-old Driti guilty of inciting to mutiny.

The maximum sentence for inciting to mutiny is 15 years imprisonment.
