The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) is trying to stop former Airports Fiji Ltd chief executive Sakiusa Tuisolia from travelling to New Zealand.
FICAC lawyer Aca Rayawa told Suva High Court judge Justice Daniel Gounder that Tuisolia intended to travel to Auckland on Sunday for job interviews, the Fiji Times reported.
He was charged with 22 counts of abuse of office and 22 counts of false pretence by the commission in the wake of the military overthrow of Fiji's elected government, and pleaded not guilty.
Rayawa said the commission wanted to have Tuisolia's bail variations revoked even though he had previously been permitted to travel overseas.
Judge Gounder instructed Tuisolia to postpone his planned visit on
Sunday until FICAC's motion is dealt with sometime next week.
Tuisolia was dismissed in December 2006 as chief executive of the government-owned Airports Fiji, by the military administration that seized power in a earlier that month coup.
The allegations about his management of the company subsequently led to him resigning as president of the Fiji Rugby Union in 2008.
