Fiji Link CEO Shaenaz Voss has been charged in relation to unlawful carriage of firearms on board a flight from Nausori to Labasa Airport on 8th October, 2018 and will be produced in the Nausori Magistrates Court this afternoon.
Police Chief of Intelligence, Investigations and Prosecutions, ACP Sakeo Raikaci says 63-year-old Voss has been charged with one count of failure to comply with the requirements of the operator’s airline security programme.
He says she was arrested on Saturday from the Nadi International Airport.
ACP Raikaci says Voss was interviewed under caution on Saturday through Video Recorded Interview and kept in police custody for the continuation of her interview yesterday and was further kept in custody for the completion of her interview this morning.
He says after consultation with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, she was charged with one count of failure to comply with the requirements of the operator’s airline security programme which is contrary to Section 37 of the Civil Aviation (Security) Act 1994 and Regulation 20(2) of the Civil Aviation (Security) Regulation 1994.
ACP Raikaci says Voss was out of the country when investigation was initiated until recently when she arrived on Friday, last week.
He has once again reassured members of the public that there will not be any influence from senior police officers as well as political masters in the process of investigating cases of national interest.
ACP Raikaci adds all investigations will be conducted thoroughly and fairly, therefore they once again plead for patience and understanding as there are processes and procedures that have to be followed and complied with accordingly.
