Blessed Are They Who Paid for the Journey But Michael Mausio, Where Dwell Their Shekels Now? Have these 'Freeloaders' Paid Up, Now?
The hand of prophecy cannot cover the stench of secrecy. Fiji Airways remains burdened with a $3million debt from the controversial Jerusalem charter flight, yet the mystery deepens: $660,000 has vanished: funds raised, pledged, or promised for the so-called "Holy Mission", but now unaccounted for. Michael Mausio must be questioned by Fiji Police to establish where has the $660,000 gone?

This comes as Fiji Airways is taking legal action to recover payments from the commercial charter arrangement and Fiji Labour Party claims Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism Minister Viliame Gavoka’s name had been closely associated with the entire sordid affair and some top ranking people in SODELPA and the People’s Alliance were on the charter flight and had not paid their fares
While responding to questions by fijiivillage News, Radrodro says if there were some SODELPA Party members that traveled, then they have to be individually liable for their own fares. Fijivillage News, 10 September 2023
September 2023. Mudreilagi ready for the 'Pilgrim Flight' Ana Soqeta and S. Tawakevou, who are among five people named as third defendants in the case, are challenging the claims, which relate to outstanding costs sought by the airline.
Their lawyer, Aca Rayawa, told the court yesterday (9 September 2025) that two of the four International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) Fiji branch members named in the lawsuit, Viliame Gonelevu and A. Kunanitu, are deceased.
His clients—Soqeta and Tawakevou, the only remaining trustees—did not authorise or participate in signing the flight agreement, while a fifth individual named Mikaele Mudreilagi, who did sign it, is not a registered trustee.
Rayawa argued there is no cause of action against his clients, as they were not passengers, did not authorise the transaction, and had no involvement in the agreement.
