The trial of Opposition MP Ratu Suliano Matanitobua will begin on Monday, May 16.

The matter was called for mention in the Anti-Corruption Division of the High Court in Suva before High Court judge Dr Justice Thushara Kumarage yesterday.

Defence lawyer, Filimoni Vosarogo, said the dates were suitable and that since the last court date they had received two further bundles of disclosures from the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC).

Mr Vosarogo said any issues should be ironed out before the trial starts on May 16.

The matter was called for mention to check the overseas counsel that Mr Vosarogo said the defence was consulting with but it was not discussed in court yesterday.
