The Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Nancy Tikoisuva said they were in the last stages of vetting two big cases.
The first report is in relation to the $450,000 that was stolen from the Police Credit Union and allegations of abuse of office of some senior members of the Fiji Police Force.
These allegations were made by Assistant Police Commissioner- Crime, Mesake Waqa at the Fiji Police Credit Union Special General meeting earlier this year. Ms Tikoisuva said the report was handled by one of the prosecution officers at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution’s office.

Ferris wheel accident report
Ms Tikosiva said the Ferris wheel accident report should be released before next Friday.
The report concerns a 21-year-old woman who died after falling from a Ferris wheel during the 2023 Fiji Showcase at the Vodafone Arena carpark in Suva.
“These are big cases that need to be investigated properly before any other decision is made,” Ms Tikoisuva said.
“After the investigation is completed, the report is then given to another prosecutor to vet, before it is then passed over to me to sign off on the report.”
