A business man has been charged by the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) with one count of Obtaining A Financial Advantage by Deception.

It is alleged that between 10th December 2020 and 23rd August 2021, in the Central Division, Nahroon Buksh by deception, pretended to be a licensed real estate agent and purportedly sold a property in Kinoya which belonged to an individual to a couple who were genuinely interested in purchasing the property and as a result of that deception, dishonestly obtained a financial advantage of $6,000 from the couple.

Junior State Counsel Rajiv Pathak informed the Court that the first phase of disclosures has been served.

Resident Magistrate Pulekeria Low granted a non-cash bail of $1,000 and ordered the accused to not re-offend whilst on bail, not to interfere with prosecution witnesses with other strict bail conditions including reporting to the FICAC Suva Office once a month.

The accused was also ordered to surrender all travel documents to the Court.

The matter has been adjourned to 22 May for mention to check on the second phase of disclosures and check on the accused legal representation.
