斐济最高法院推迟了对前总理白尼马拉马(Bainimarama)和前警察局长基利霍(Qiliho)2021年解职案的裁决。
Fiji's top court delays ruling in case against ex-PM Bainimarama and ex-Police Chief Qiliho over 2021 dismissals.
苏瓦高等法院推迟对前总理沃雷凯·白尼马拉马(Voreqe Bainimarama)和前警察局长西蒂维尼·基利霍(Sitiveni Qiliho)一案作出判决,预计将在下星期四作出最后裁决。
The High Court in Suva has delayed delivering its judgment in the case against former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and former Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho, with a final ruling expected next Thursday.
法官Guchhara Rajasinghe要求双方就代理警务专员的任命是否符合宪法提出更多法律意见,并引述斐济2013年《宪法》的具体章节。
Judge Justice Thushara Rajasinghe requested additional legal submissions from both sides on the constitutionality of the Acting Police Commissioner’s appointment, citing specific sections of Fiji’s 2013 Constitution.
Bainimarama面临一项指控,即公职人员无理要求,可能被判处最高12年的监禁,或者17年的私利。
Bainimarama faces one charge of unwarranted demand by a public official, potentially punishable by up to 12 years in prison, or 17 years if for personal gain.
Qiliho被控两项滥用职权罪,每项罪行最高可处以10年监禁,如为谋利,最高可判处17年监禁。
Qiliho is charged with two counts of abuse of office, each carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years, also rising to 17 years if done for gain.
这些指控源于2021年5月至8月苏瓦的行动,Bainimarama被控威胁一名代理警官的工作,强迫解雇两名警官,而Qiliho被控未经正当程序监督这些解职。
The allegations stem from actions in May to August 2021 in Suva, where Bainimarama is accused of threatening the job of an acting police official to force the dismissal of two officers, while Qiliho is accused of overseeing those dismissals without due process.
两名男子仍被保释。
Both men remain on bail.
