Fiji police widen cross-border probe into officer-linked drug allegations with AFP help

Police officers are currently engaged in a search for a mysterious individual believed to be connected to officers involved in drug-related activities, as stated by Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu. The investigation aims to identify the source of the allegations, as the initial findings only implicate certain police personnel. Commissioner Tudravu emphasized the necessity of uncovering the identity of the other parties involved.

Digital forensic examinations have been completed, leading to plans for an investigator to travel to Australia to collaborate with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in gathering further evidence. “This is crucial to verify the authenticity of the messages and to ensure we have sufficient evidence to move forward,” Mr. Tudravu remarked.

The police chief acknowledged the complexity of the case, noting that while efforts are underway to expedite the investigation, coordination with various jurisdictions adds to the challenge. He indicated that his team is fully committed to uncovering the truth as quickly as possible.

In a related development, Commissioner Tudravu and AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett are scheduled to address the media along with Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka later today, further demonstrating the seriousness with which this matter is being treated. Those interested in following the updates can watch the live coverage on The Fiji Times’ social media channels.

This ongoing investigation underscores a collaborative effort between international police forces to tackle corruption and ensure accountability within law enforcement agencies.
