Breaking News: Solomon Islands MP arrested, charged with conversion

Quoting Radio New Zealand – 31 October 2018

“A member of parliament in Solomon Islands has been arrested and charged with conversion.

“Allegations against the MP, who police say they will name later today, are in relation to a shipping grant of more than $US374,000 made under the 2013 National Transport Fund.

“Police allege a single payment of $US300,000 was made by the MP purportedly for the purchase of a vessel but it was never delivered.

“It is further alleged the MP then spent the remaining funds on items not covered by the grant.

“The MP was charged in the Honiara Central Magistrates Court this afternoon.

“Police commissioner Matthew Varley is to reveal more details in a press conference this afternoon in Honiara.”
