The case against a man charged over the alleged disappearance of $31 million worth of cocaine exhibits has been transferred to the High Court, where he is expected to make his first appearance on November 16. Jiuta Naivalurua Raibevu’s bail application will also be determined during his first appearance before the High Court. He faces one count of interfering with evidence and one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs. It is alleged that Mr Raibevu and another person unlawfully interfered with, seized and possessed 39.5 kilograms of cocaine from the High Court registry between March 23, 2021, and September 15, 2026. He is represented by Lawyers Tevita Vakalalabure and Ulamila Vakalalabure. The missing cocaine is believed to have been exhibit material in the case involving Fiji-Canadian national Joshua Aziz Rahman.
