A 24‑year‑old Canadian national Joshua Aziz Rahman who was allegedly found with $31 million worth of cocaine last month has been denied bail by Justice Daniel Goundar in the Suva High Court.
Justice Goundar said the accused has small community links in Fiji and there is a high risk of him not returning to court.
In his bail ruling, Justice Goundar also said the accused has stated that he is finding it hard to adapt to the conditions in the remand centre.
The Judge said Rahman was willing to place a cash bail of $10,000.
It is alleged that Rahman was found in possession of 39.5kg of cocaine in Caubati on the 14th of last month.
Rahman will appear in court again on the 30th of next month.
