The Suva Magistrates Court has found that former SODELPA MP Simione Rasova has a case to answer in court.

He appeared before Magistrate Joseph Daurewa this afternoon, who delivered the ruling given by Magistrate Pukeria Low.

Rasova has 28 days to appeal the ruling.

The former MP is charged with one count of providing false information to a public servant, allegedly lying about his residence, and obtaining a financial gain.

It is alleged that Rasova falsely stated that his permanent place of residence was in Nasenivolau, Nabouwalu village, Ono, Kadavu and obtained $21,350 in parliamentary allowances between July 2019 and April 2020.
