A 33-year-old Romanian national has been in court in Samoa over an alleged ATM scam.
Catalin Razvan Veverita, who was arrested last month, was in court, but the matter was adjourned for a change of attorney for the defendant.
RNZI reports the Attorney General's office is also still finalising charges.
The Presiding District Judge Alalatoa Rosella Viane Papali'i said the matter would be adjourned on Tuesday.
Last month, the Police Commissioner Su'a Fuiavailili Egon Keil warned the public about the increase in these types of crimes in the region.
He advised people to check their bank accounts to make sure no money was taken out illegally.
