Pryde complaint investigations ongoing: FICAC

The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has confirmed that investigations into a complaint involving Director of Public Prosecutions Christopher Pryde are ongoing.

In response to queries from the Fiji Sun, FICAC said it does not comment on active investigations in order to protect the integrity of the process and ensure fairness to all parties involved.

"An official statement will be made if and when charges are laid or the matter is concluded," the FICAC said in a statement yesterday.

The complaint, lodged by senior managers from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), including Nancy Tikoisuva, relates to gratuity payments allegedly exceeding Mr Pryde's entitlements in 2023, as well as concerns over life insurance coverage and other employment-related benefits.

No further details have been provided at this stage.
