The two former finance officers of the Pacific Theological College in Suva were making bank listings without the approval of the director.

This was revealed in the Suva High Court by state witness, the then Finance Director, Nilesh Sharma during cross examination by defence counsel.

Rosheen Raj and Rine Sorby are charged with three counts of money laundering.
It is alleged that between June 1st 2006 and November 30th 2012, the two while employed at the PTC, laundered around $582, 000.

Sharma claims as director he did not approve bank listing which contained payment details.

The trial will continue in the Suva High court tomorrow.
