A foreign national has been charged in relation to the alleged unlawful importation of 4 kilograms of methamphetamine, seized during a joint controlled operation between the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service and the Fiji Police Force last week.

Police say the accused will appear in the Nadi Magistrates Court today.

They say the accused is believed to be an associate of the three men charged and produced in court yesterday.

The foreign national has been charged with one count of unlawful importation of illicit drugs and since the accused has also breached the conditions of his visitors visa, he has also been charged with one count of Prohibited Immigrant Section 13(1)(b) (2)(a) and Section 64 (1) (i) of the Immigration Act 2003.
