The United States Federal Bureau of Investigations or FBI presented certificates of recognition to the representatives of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and Police.

This is to acknowledge Fiji’s pivotal role in investigating and facilitating the extradition of Kinho Lo to the United States recently to face charges of identity of theft and passport fraud.

Office of the DPP states that Lo was arrested last year following an application made under Fiji’s Extradition Act on behalf of the US Government.
