Closing submissions in former Post Fiji executives’ case tomorrow

Closing submissions are expected to be presented by the prosecution and defense counsels tomorrow in relation to the trial against the former Managing Director of Post Fiji Limited Peni Mau and the former General Manager Finance Dhirendra Pratap.

Mau and Pratap are charged with one count of extortion and one count of abuse of office.

It is alleged that while Mau was a Managing Director of Post Fiji Limited in 2006, he approved the payment of $5,400 to be paid to Pratap as a reward for his performance but according to prosecution, it was made outside Pratap’s contract.

The only defense witness Sat Narayan, who was a former Board member of Post Fiji Limited, chose not to take the witness stand.

High Court judge Justice Pratibharan Kumararatnam will hear the case tomorrow morning at 10.
