A special task force from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is handling former attorney-general Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s case.
Fiji Police Force chief of intelligence and investigations Assistant Commissioner of Police Surend Sami said the task force was working under the direction of the director CID.
“As earlier stated, there is a special task force that is handling this case which works under the direction of the Director CID,” ACP Sami said.
“The process of getting statements and necessary evidence continues by the investigators and once the process is completed then the next course of action will be taken.
“We do not want to pressure the investigators and must allow them to conduct their work thoroughly”.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum arrived in the country on Thursday.
Minister for Rural Maritime Development and Disaster Management and general secretary for The People’s Alliance, Sakiasi Ditoka, had filed a complaint against Sayed-Khaiyum on December 22 for allegedly inciting racial hatred and violence in view of his public statements at a press conference in Suva.
