Police in Fiji have for the second time in a month questioned controversial business figure Timoci Lolohea over fresh complaints that he has received money in exchange for promises of jobs in the Middle East.
Police spokesman Atunaisa Sokomuri said Lolohea was taken in for questioning last week.
He said the Meridian Services Company director was taken in for questioning for the first time a fortnight ago.
Whether police would question Lolohea again would depend on investigations being carried out by a special police task force.
“If they need him, they’ll bring him in,” Sokomuri told FijiLive.
Following Lolohea’s return to Fiji last month from the Middle East, police set up the task force to look into complaints pending against him locally since 2005 when it was claimed that he was at the centre of a scam where more than 20,000 people allegedly paid a total of more than $3 million after being promised jobs in Kuwait.
Former associates of Lolohea told FijiLive last year, he might have been serving a two-year jail sentence in Kuwait for being involved in a corruption scandal.
