Former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum

Former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Grace Road Group President Daniel Kim was not sent to South Korea in 2018 when his passport was nullified because there was a court order in 2018 stopping him.

7 people including Kim were wanted by the South Korean Government as their passports were nullified by the South Korean Government in relation to charges laid by the South Korean Government who had issued a warrant for their arrest.

Red Notices were published by Interpol in July 2018, referring to these individuals as *Fugitives wanted for Prosecution."

Minister for Immigration, Pio Tikoduadua had earlier said all of these were ignored by the former government.

While responding to questions by fijivillage News outside court, Sayed-Khaiyum says the Fijian courts had said in 2018 that there should be a stop order on any of their departure and they need to be followed.

While responding to our questions regarding the South Korean government’s decision and Interpol declaring Kim a fugitive, Sayed-Khaiyum says anybody can declare anybody anything.

He has also accused fijivillage News of making a mountain out of a molehill.
