Case against suspended Police Commissioner and DPP

Samoa hires NZ lawyers for high-level prosecutions

RNZ reports the director, Mauga Precious Chang, faces two charges of dangerous driving and will appear in court on the 13 September.

The commissioner, Fuiavailili Egon Keil, is yet to enter a plea to four charges including perjury, unlawful detention, providing false statements and disorderly conduct.

The government said for reasons of fairness and equality before the law, it was important an objective view was sought for the cases.
