Vanuatu’s wanted man charged

Shalendra Sinha was charged with more than 40 counts of fraud related offences by the Transnational National Crime Unit.

The officer-in-charge of the Transnational Crime Unit, Inspector Abdul Khan, said Sinha would appear in the Nadi magistrates court.

He will be charged for defrauding  Fiji Islands Revenue and Custom Authority and some other companies and people. The amount involved runs into millions of dollars.

According to Khan, Sinha is also facing charges of impersonation for obtaining passports on several occasions under different names.

His business partner, Mohammed Ramzan, has also been charged with seven counts of fraud-related offenses and would also appear in the Lautoka court.

Sinha defrauded the Vanuatu National Bank of $500,000. He was extradited from Samoa early last week.
