The National Anti-Money Laundering Council is currently investigating three cases of unexplained wealth worth over $2 million.

The task force comprises members from the Fiji Police Force, FICAC, Fiji Revenue, and Customs Services and the Financial Intelligence Unit.

FIU Director Razim Buksh says the three cases will soon be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution for a decision.

“The first case involves around a quarter-million dollars of unexplained wealth or possession of unexplained wealth and the other two cases involve a million dollars each whereby the suspects are alleged to have in possession substantial wealth that are questionable.”

Buksh says once the investigations are finalized it will be determined by the court whether the wealth they possessed by the individuals in question has been fully explained.

He also says if the explanations are not convincing, the money will be confiscated.
