A former Finance Clerk with the iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB)  appeared in the Nausori Magistrates Court yesterday on corruption-related charges.

Adi Filomena Serau was charged by the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) with one (1) count of Obtaining a Financial Advantage.

She is alleged to have received cash payments made to TLTB but did not deposit the same into the account of her employer.

As a result, she allegedly obtained $12,174.90 between June and December 2017.

FICAC State Counsel Arieta Vaganalau informed the Court that first phase disclosures have been served and there were no objections to bail.

Serau has been released on a bail bond of $5000 and a surety.

The matter has been adjourned to 19 August.
