Charges dropped against Tuisolia

The charge of giving false information to a public officer has been dropped against former Airports Fiji Limited CEO Sakiusa Tuisolia.

This morning, DPP lawyer Seini Puamau formally filed the papers stating that there was insufficient evidence against Tuisolia.

The DPP had filed a verbal nolle prosequi on Wednesday and formalised it today.

Tuisolia and his wife Imrama Jalal had been charged with 8 counts relating to their business licence and Health Safety Act related charges and one of disobeying a public official.

However, while his wife had her charges dismissed by the Suva High Court, Tuisolia had to answer to the one count of disobeying a public officer.

Tuisolia was accused of not following the orders of health inspectors with regards to their business known as Roma's Hook and Chook, which he and his wife Imrana Jalal operated as co directors.
