A security officer who worked for Freesoul Real Estate Development (Fiji) PTE Ltd told the court he did not see nor hear of the Department of Environment officers visiting and inspecting the development site at Malolo Island.
Appearing before Suva Magistrate Seini Puamau, Rusiate Nagatalevu said he could only recognise a Department of Environment officer who visited the development site, Wacia, with Government officials for a meeting in August, 2018.
He said he saw a stop order notice issued by the department but thought it was for neighbouring Solevu Village.
