Five military personnel have been sent home pending a board of inquiry into allegations of embezzlement involving funds in the Fiji Military Force.

The pay officers were detained in military custody from September during investigations.

Military spokesperson, Brigadier Mohammed Aziz says a board of inquiry is in place and the officers will have to report to the board when necessary.

He wouldn’t disclose the amount of money that is allegedly missing.

FBC News has been reliably told that the money is missing from the regimental funds in the military.
