FICAC says these charges stem from allegations involving the tender and procurement of a 3.0L Volkswagen Touareg vehicle valued at $207,470.00.
Both were discharged on the 15th of May for this matter after FICAC withdrew the case.
The incidents are alleged to have occurred between September 1st and November 11th in 2022.
