A fifty-two-year old man of Suva charged with one count of causing a loss appeared in the Suva Magistrates Court today.

Kitione Lalako-macoi who works as a private travel agent – is alleged to have accepted payment for fourteen airline tickets from customers.

He then wrote a cheque for more than twenty-eight thousand dollars to purchase the tickets from Macquarie Travel All Services Limited in Suva.
