Defence lawyer Devanesh Sharma, Prosecution Witness Serupepeli Neiko and DPP David Toganivalu
The defence lawyer for former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and suspended Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho will make a submission on Wednesday for a no case to answer.
This after the final prosecution witness took the stand yesterday to testify in the case.
Bainimarama is charged with a count of attempting to pervert the course of justice, while Qiliho is charged with a count of abuse of office.
The charges stem from a complaint filed by the University of the South Pacific in July 2019 pertaining to the conduct of former staff members.
Defence lawyer Devanesh Sharma says they will give a written copy of the submission for a no-case to the court and to the Director of Public Prosecution.
DPP David Toganivalu, in his reply, says they will make a verbal response.
