Charters still in FICAC custody

There is still no official word from FICAC on why Fijian national, Charlie Charters has been taken
custody.

fijivillage News understands Charters will be kept in custody overnight.

Charters was brought into FICAC's Suva office at 7.40pm last night.

Fiji Law Society President, Wylie Clarke was also seen walking into the FICAC office.

Charters had contacted us earlier yesterday saying that he is being held at immigration at Nadi International Airport because of a FICAC flag on his file.

Charters, a 57-year-old sports marketing expert, has Fiji and UK citizenship and arrived on Sunday to renew his Fiji passport.

He was scheduled to fly to Sydney last night FJ915 flight.

Charters has written extensively about the family and friends connections between FICAC and the Fiji Sports Council relying on publicly available documents and whistleblower testimony.

We are trying to speak to FICAC and the Immigration Department.

We have sent questions to Acting FICAC Commissioner, Lavi Rokoika, Immigration Minister, Viliame Naupoto and Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka.

Rabuka has told us to ask FICAC as they are independent and act independently.

FICAC has not said anything despite many requests.

Stay with us for further developments.
