Frank Bainimarama, who led Fiji for 16 years, has been sentenced to a year in jail for perverting the course of justice.
Sitiveni Qiliho, the former police commissioner during Mr. Bainimarama’s final years in power, was also sentenced to two years over the same incident, in which both men sought to influence a police investigation into financial mismanagement at the University of the South Pacific in 2019.
