FICAC's FUGITIVE: We call on Fiji POLICE to investigate whether FICAC Commissioner Malimali and A-G Leung attempted to pervert the cause of justice when Malimali blocked Biman Prasad's lawful arrest and charges

A-G Graham Leung, Sunday 15 September 2024:
*It is shocking that Barbara Malimali, despite being under FICAC's radar, was parachuted into the office as the new FICAC Commissioner. She should have been advised that her appointment would be put on hold until FICAC had completed its investigation into her case, no matter how frivolous and vexatious. Qiliho (convicted) and Pryde (still under suspension) were suspended until their cases were dealt with, and so were numerous others. It is like putting a pedophile in charge of a children's home - without any proper police check.  You know, the Fiji public is NOT stupid.  Biman tried to ride on the bandwagon that he was being victimised, and the charges were baseless. Rubbish."

*The chain of events leading up to the go-ahead to arrest and charge Fiji's Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Prasad was within the then-acting FICAC Deputy Commissioner Francis Puleiwai's legal remit.

 *She had signed off the arrest and charging of Biman Prasad for multiple breaches of the Political Parties Act 2013 regarding the contents in his statutory declarations on a Monday.
*Barbara Malimali was only parachuted on Thursday afternoon as the newly appointed FICAC Commissioner. She had no legal powers to overrule Francis Puleiwai's decision to arrest and charge Prasad.
*We wonder if Graham Leung's vociferous support of Malimali's appointment and actions can be described as indirectly preventing  Biman Prasad's arrest, and the charges he was facing. 
*Below is another lie in his statutory declaration that we exposed. It is supported by the Valuers Report on the Burerua property, which was valued in 2015 at $2,815,000 but which the couple (Biman and Rajni) sold to Lotus (Fiji) for $550,000 in 2016.
*We will publish an analysis of the sale that smacks of alleged fraud, possibly involving FRCA regarding the Capital Gains Tax.
​*Biman Prasad must be charged for lying about being the sole proprietor of the Burerua property. Although the couple sold 'Burerua' for $550,000 in 2016, Prasad, in his statutory declarations, had claimed that all his three houses had a combined value of $650,000.

SHORT-CHANGING FRCS AND TAXPAYERS OF FIJI
*As we revealed previously, Biman Prasad and his wife Rajni Kaushal Chand sold the Burerua St property at a staggering deflated price of $550,000 to Lotus (Fiji) in which Prasad has 50% shares.
*In fact, for the above proposed 14 flats, Biman Prasad (Lotus Fiji) had already paid architects, surveyors, and the valuer in 2016 before the couple sold off 'Burerua' for $550,000 in exchange for the clearance of loan and two units in Westfield Villa for Rajni Chand. 
*Again, Biman Prasad has not disclosed the two units worth $300,000 in any of his statutory declarations and the FICAC investigating officers should file additional charges, and arrest, for they already have the authorised order from the then acting FICAC Deputy Commissioner.
*Barbara Malimali and her shadowy string pullers have no power to stop FICAC legal team, for if Malimali and her side-kicks attempt to interfere, they should be handed to the Fiji Police for attempting to pervert the cause of justice. FICAC's Fugitive Prasad must be apprehended, charged and presented before the court, where he can defend himself.
​*JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. HARIBOL, HARIBOL.
