Former Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has been found guilty of corruption charges for a second time, quashing his supporters’ hopes that he might have been about to stage a political comeback.

Justice Thushara Rajasinghe ruled Bainimarama had made an unwarranted demand with menace when he directed then-Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu to terminate two officers, a sergeant and a constable.
