He was responding after he was asked to confirm reports of police charges implicating him in fraud activities.  

Taione, 54, has allegedly been charged after he purportedly agreed to get involve in a vehicle deal with an individual for $100,000 but failed to fulfil the agreement. When asked about the charges he neither confirmed nor denied them.

Kaniva understands that the alleged frauds occurred in December 2023.

MP Taione said he was glad that the matter had been brought before the court.

“The only place to find justice is the court. So will leave it at that”, he told Kaniva News.

“So am happy that justice will soon be served”.

MP Taione believed that the charges were politically motivated.

He suspected that another Member of Parliament was responsible for the allegations levelled against him.

Police could not be reached for comment.
