Information Minister, Simione Kaitani, has been confirmed to be under investigation for his role in the 2000 Coup.  Police have given notice that handwriting experts who were in the country examined documents tying Mr. Kaitani to the George Speight regime.

The New Zealand experts looked at signatures on documents related to the illegal swearing-in ceremony conducted by George Speight and his cohorts.  The experts have confirmed what the Police already know about Mr. Kaitani's role in the 2000 takeover.

Police are now awaiting directions from the DPP's office on how to pursue the case against Kaitani.

At the time of the May 2000 Coup, Simione Kaitani, was a member of the SVT Party.
