The former Foreign Minister of New Zealand, Winston Peters has rejected the suggestions in a report on the NZ Herald that NZ was planning to arrest Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama just days before the 2006 coup.
The Herald report quotes former Police Commissioner, Andrew Hughes planning with the NZ authorities to carry out the arrest.
However Peters who was the NZ Foreign Minister at the time of Commodore Bainimarama's meeting with Laisenia Qarase in Wellington just days before December 5th, 2006, has told Pacific Beat that the arrest would never have taken place.
Peters then makes a critical analysis about Fiji's former Police Commissioner, Andrew Hughes intentions who allegedly suggested that Commodore Bainimarama should be invited for a chat in NZ and then be arrested.
Commodore Bainimarama said he will not comment on the reports.
He said in the Police Leadership Symposium in Nasova that the Herald report is partially inaccurate.
