Acting Police Commissioner, Fauono Talalelei Tapu, has confirmed that three senior officials at the Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture have been charged with theft as a servant in relation to the February burglary at the Ministry office at Leifi’ifi.
He, however, declined to name the three accused. Investigations were continuing to finalise charges as well as determine the total amount of monies and property stolen during the break-in, he said.
The men will appear in the Supreme Court in relation to this matter on 14 April 2014.
Last month, the Chief Executive Officer of M.E.S.C., Matafeo Tanielu Aiafi, confirmed the suspension of three of his senior officials in relation to the break-in of Saturday 22 February, 2014.
This included two Principal Officers and an Assistant Chief Executive officer.
He also declined to name the trio.
