Fiji Times and Fiji Television were served with search warrants by police for copies and sources of two letters that were published by them.
Assistant police spokesman Atunaisa Sokomuri said officers from the Criminal Investigation Department served the search warrant to Fiji Television Limited.
Sokomuri did not say why the officers were at Fiji TV but said they discussed with some senior staff in the office.
Fiji TV said the search warrant was served for the copy of a letter which was aired on Fiji One national news on Monday.
The letter was from Sitiveni Halapua and Robin Nair, asking interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama for a meeting.
Another search warrant was served to Fiji Times for a copy of the letter which was written by the United Nations and the Commonwealth.
The letter was a joint statement from the U.N. and Commonwealth on their agreement to support the president’s political dialogue forum.
Fiji Times editor-in-chief Netani Rika was taken to the Central Police Station and questioned about the issue afternoon.
His company vehicle was also smashed by vandals
“I do have my suspects and I have conveyed it to police,” Rika told Fijilive.
“I think I know why (the incident occurred to him). Until I can be certain, I will not speculate,” he said.
