The One Link case was mentioned at the magistrate court yesterday for interim-hearing.
Prosecution and defence told court that parties have no issues to raise regarding the upcoming trial at this stage.
The accused Makasi Dolaiano was excused from appearing in court. Court suspended the case for July 31 for next interim-mention.
Prosecution allegations say Dolaiano stole $336,891.20 that was kept as an exhibit for a trial in the Honiara Magistrate Court in October 2020.
It was further alleged that the accused was said to be one of the officers manning the exhibit storage facility at the time when the $300k went missing in October 2020.
The $300k belong to One Link Pacifica customers.
Police recovered the monies after they arrested the manager of the money investment scheme in April 2020.
The 300k was initially kept at the exhibit storage facility at the Central Police Station and then transferred to the exhibit storage facility at the Rove Police Headquarters where it went missing.
George Gray of Public Solicitor’s Office represents Dolaiano and Mrs Olivia Ratu Manu of Office of Public Prosecution act for the Crown.
