Attorney General Ano Pala says in the spirit of pursuing proper legal process, he has accepted the charges laid against him today and will now defend himself in court.
Pala presented himself at the Fraud Squad office at 10am and was questioned for more than two hours.
“I am charged for carrying out my duty as Attorney General and legal adviser to the State. I carried out my duty and I have no personal benefit whatsoever,” Pala says.
In a statement distributed by the office of the Prime Minister, he says he will not make any further comments until the matter has run its full course in court.
