Fijileaks: Eight months after being appointed acting NFP President (24 January 2017), Titoko had swindled TARA DEVI, an Indo-Fijian woman client of his, thousands of dollars (27 September 2017)

"National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says it is rather unfortunate that this has come at this point in time. Prasad says he has not spoken to Titoko yet and he will do so later today. He says they will take it up from there."

A lawyer who is also a National Federation Party candidate in the upcoming General Elections and another man will be produced in the Rakiraki Magistrates Court today for allegedly obtaining money by deception. The men allegedly deceptively obtained more than $120,000 from a woman’s trust account. The lawyer who is the first accused has been charged with one count of conversion and one count of money laundering. NFP candidate and lawyer Semi Titoko who is the former Acting President for NFP is the first accused and has been charged with one count of conversion and one count of money laundering. For the first count of money laundering, Titoko is alleged to have fraudulently converted more than $120,000 that was entrusted to his firm for safe custody under the victim’s trust fund to his own use and benefit sometime between July 2017 and June 2018. For the second count of money laundering, Titoko is alleged to have engaged directly or indirectly in transactions involving more than $120,000. The second accused is the law firm’s accountant who faces one count of money laundering for allegedly engaging directly or indirectly in transactions involving more than $120,000. National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says it is rather unfortunate that this has come at this point in time. Prasad says he has not spoken to Titoko yet and he will do so later today. He says they will take it up from there. Source: FijiVillage News

Fijilleaks: On 12 October 2018, Prasad endorsed Titoko as NFP Candidate. Titoko was 42nd on the list of NFP's 51 Candidates for 2018 Election.
*We don't know if Titoko had declared that he was under criminal probe or if NFP had failed to carry out a background check on Titoko, for he had already swindled the Indo-Fijian woman client in September 2017.

Thankfully, the criminally bent lawyer mustered only 121 Votes

Fijileaks: We have no doubt that by endorsing Semi Titoko as election candidate, the NFP and Biman Prasad must have caused TARA DEVI anguish and distress, even anger at seeing Titoko at NFP rallies

FEARED FOR HIS LIFE: In Naidu's case, the Judge who found Naidu guilty of bringing Fiji judiciary into disrepute and was going to sentence him (Naidu) has FLED to Sri Lanka. In fact, as soon as Coalition came into power, its attack dogs began singling out foreign judges for removal, and replacing them with locals. 
*It was clearly designed to intimidate the JUDGE who had found Naidu guilty of scandalising the court. 
*The case is now mired in new legal wrangling.
*Surprisingly, Naidu's practising certificate has not been suspended, and worst he was appointed by NFP leader Biman Prasad as chairman of the Fiscal Review Commission
*Naidu is back writing columns for Fiji Times, when his law firm Munro Leys is the legal adviser to the paper.
​*He is a known NFP supporter, propagandist, and a donor to the party.
*Initially, we had backed Naidu over his Facebook posting but on reflection told Amnesty International, International Bar Association, Indian and Australian lawyers to back off, for NAIDU'S posting cannot be viewed in isolation - he was (and still is) a serial propagandist for the Coalition, abusing the Fiji Times Opinion column, Twitter feed and his Facebook accounts .
*When Naidu came across the spelling mistake (Injection instead of Injunction) in the court judgment, he could have had a good laugh with his legal colleagues until he 'farted with delight; or he could have just kept it to himself, or he could, as a senior lawyer of standing, contacted the Chief Registrar and got the words corrected, and the judgment re-published on the Judiciary website.
But, No, the self-proclaimed 'Journalist Gone Mad', chose what he is best at, his Facebook account to invite the readers to ridicule the Judiciary.
​*HE STANDS GUILTY AS CHARGED IN THE EYES OF THE LAW
