Opposition MP and former Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum

A border alert has been issued by the Police Criminal Investigations Department for Opposition MP and former Attorney General and Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

The CID has said that Sayed-Khaiyum is a person of interest and is currently under investigation regarding a case of alleged inciting communal antagonism.

They say they are yet to deal with Sayed-Khaiyum who is believed to be currently in Australia.

The CID says according to the travel history, Sayed-Khaiyum departed Fiji on the 26th of December 2022.

It says the CID should be contacted upon the arrival of Sayed-Khaiyum.

The border alert seems to have been leaked and is being widely shared.

Police Commissioner, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho says that is a normal monitoring mechanism of CID writing to the Border Police to inform them that if Sayed-Khaiyum returns, they should be notified in order to carry out investigations on a report against him.

We have also asked Police how this sensitive information has been leaked.
