FICAC has sought more time to file further information in the case of the suspended Director Intelligence, Compliance and Investigations of the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service, Shameem Khan.

Khan is charged with a count each of Abuse of Office and General Dishonesty Causing a Loss.

Khan had earlier pleaded not guilty to his charges.

The matter has been adjourned to the 28th of next month and Khan’s bail has been extended.

Khan allegedly prevented the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service from obtaining revenue of $4.118 million from January 2016 to May 2017.

He allegedly prepared an investigation report with false contents which allowed this loss to occur.
