Former Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has been sentenced to a year in prison for interfering in a criminal investigation while leading the government of his South Pacific island nation.

FILE - The then Prime Minister of Fiji Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama addresses the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Sept. 23, 2022, at the U.N. headquarters. Former Prime Minister Bainimarama was sentenced on Thursday, May 9, 2024, to a year in prison for interfering in a criminal investigation while he headed the government of his South Pacific island nation.

Bainimarama was prime minister in 2019 when he ended a police investigation into allegations of financial mismanagement at the University of the South Pacific. A lower court judge had acquitted Bainimarama and Qiliho of the charges last October. But prosecutors successfully appealed to the High Court, which convicted them both.
