5 RFMF personnel to face Board of Inquiry

Five military personnel are expected to face a Board of Inquiry after allegedly embezzling RFMF funds.

Chief of Staff Brigadier Mohammed Aziz said they arrested and detained the five in relation to embezzlement in the pay office last month.

He said the five were detained for three weeks and are now on open arrest which means that they have been allowed to move out of the detention centre but they have to report to any call for an inquiry or other matters.

Brigadier Aziz said a substantial amount is involved and the board will determine whether other people are involved.

He said the matter has also been referred to the police.
