The investigation is in relation to the issuance of a passport to the children of individuals associated with the Grace Road human rights allegations.

Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua had earlier stated that someone within the Immigration Department allegedly granted citizenship to a child, a foreign national, without his specific authority.

Questions have been asked of whether Grace Road investors born in Fiji can be issued Fiji Passports.
