The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has sanctioned the charges against a former Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, and two senior executives of local airlines for a case of unlawful carriage of firearms and ammunition in a domestic flight.

Chief of Crime ACP Mesake Waqa says Sayed-Khaiyum has been charged with abuse of office, breach of trust by a person employed in the public service, receiving a corrupt benefit, and unlawful carriage of firearms and ammunition on aircraft.

Former Fiji Link Chief Executive Shaenaz Voss and Fiji Airways General Manager Safety, Security, and Quality Sharun Ali have both been charged with giving a corrupt benefit to a public official, breach of mandatory reporting of security occurrences, and breach of compliance with the aircraft company’s Security Programme.

ACP Waqa further confirms that the company is being held accountable for a breach of compliance with its aircraft security programme and mandatory reporting of security occurrences.

The three will be produced at the Nadi Magistrates Court today, with a representative from the aircraft company in attendance.
