Cocaine worth more than \$10m replaced with flour in Fiji drug trial (r/news)
- Random_182f2565: Your honor, there was never any cocaine my client was just transporting flour
- meninblck9: “Fiji Police Assistant Commissioner Mesake Waqa told the ABC earlier this year that the force was “not a corrupt institution”.
More than \$10 million worth of cocaine stored at a Fiji court as evidence in a long-running drug-trafficking trial has been replaced with flour, in yet another apparent example of internal corruption that has plagued Fiji’s authorities.
The ABC has confirmed 32 kilograms of cocaine stored at the Suva High Court for the long-running trial of Fiji-Canadian national Joshua Aziz Rahman had been replaced and is now effectively missing, with police investigating the incident.
Fiji Police issued a statement Tuesday afternoon confirming that “forensic tests” of the drugs came back negative. “The exhibits were all tampered with, and the investigation is focused on those directly charged with the management of the exhibits at the High Court Registry,” the statement said.
Aziz Rahman was convicted in 2021 and sentenced to 23 years in prison, but later appealed the sentence and walked free in February 2026. Fiji’s public prosecutor appealed that and won, and the conviction was reinstated with Aziz Rahman returning to jail. “ - Room_Temp_Coffee: I wonder if they replaced it all at once or a gram at a time
