The Criminal Investigations Department’s Anti-Money Laundering Unit is conducting a parallel investigation into possible financial gains involving two individuals allegedly linked to domestic trafficking cases.

Police say the investigation follows two separate reports initially handled by the CID Human Trafficking Unit.

The first case involved allegations that two suspects subjected a young girl to domestic trafficking in Labasa.

That investigation was completed and the file forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on June 6, 2026, for independent legal review.

A second report, lodged at the Lautoka Police Station, allegedly involved one of the same suspects from the Labasa case.

Police allege the suspect subjected three girls to domestic trafficking in the Western Division.

Two police officers were also questioned in relation to the second case.

That investigation was completed and forwarded to the ODPP on August 31, 2026.

Police say that as part of a broader investigative approach, the Anti-Money Laundering Unit is now examining whether any financial crime offences may have been committed in relation to proceeds allegedly arising from the domestic trafficking cases.

Investigations are continuing.
