A hearing date is yet to be set for an application to stay the execution of an earlier court ruling ordering the restraining of more than $400,000 and other assets.
Imran Khan and Deborah Kim are seeking a stay of execution on a February 2026 ruling that placed a permanent restraining order over more than $400,000 in cash, residential properties, and motor vehicles linked to a drug case in which Mr Khan is allegedly involved in.
Earlier this year, Justice Senileba Levaci found that the ODPP had established strong evidence that the wealth in question could not be adequately explained through legitimate income sources.
The ruling followed an application by the ODPP, which sought permanent restraining orders after interim orders were first granted in December 2023.
The assets include $404,840.34 held at Bred Bank, a three-bedroom concrete house and land at Lot 21 on DP 5225, Valelevu Housing Authority Sub-Lease No. 204059, and four vehicles: BMW sedan (FH 945), Toyota wagon (KNGKHN), Nissan sedan (913), and Toyota sedan (IV 991).
The case stems from February 2023, when border officials intercepted a package arriving from the US containing more than one kilogram of methamphetamine.
Police later conducted a controlled delivery, leading to arrests and the seizure of additional drugs, cash, and assets.
The other application is a joinder application in which an interested party, Zareen Shabnam Bi, represented by Suva lawyer Mohammed Saneem, is seeking to join as a party to the proceedings.
The case has been adjourned to August 20 in Suva.
