APIA, SAMOA – 23 DECEMBER 2021: The former HRPP Member of Parliament, Maualaivao Pat Ah Him has lodged a complaint with police against the former Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi; former Police Commissioner, Fuiavailiili Egon Keil; former Attorney General, Savalenoa Mareva Betham and Deputy Police Commissioner, Auapaau Logoitino Filipo.

The charge is conspiracy to defeat the course of justice.

Talking to the media, Maualaivao is blaming these individuals for conspiring to change his complaint in 2020 against a high chief of Malie village, Maualaivao Pepe Seiuli.

Maualaivao said that his complaint was over an alleged verbal disagreement between him and Maualaivao Pepe during a Malie village council meeting in September 2020 and could not be filed in court then.

The case is now in court and is awaiting the hearing in the new year.
