Wong admits meeting Isouve

Police Minister Jelta Wong has confirmed that suspended crimes directorate assistant commissioner Victor Isouve had seen him about financial help for his medical appeal.
“Yes, I had invited him to see me as I had pledged to help him. So he came and saw me and I will help him. But there are proper ways he had to follow to see me,” Wong said.
Police Commissioner Gari Baki said all he knew was that his deputy Jim Andrews had suspended Isouve.
Isouve said, according to the letter he received, one of the reasons was that he had contacted Wong on a matter without Baki’s consent.
Isouve, who heads the National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Unit, Internal Affairs Department, Police Intelligence and National Crime Unit, said the hierarchy was aware of his meeting with Wong. The other reason was because he had set up a taskforce to investigate senior officers allegedly involved in the deportation of a foreigner.
Meanwhile, Isouve said there were outstanding serious criminal cases that detectives from the National Crime Unit were still investigating.
He said now that he had been suspended, he was not sure whether investigations would be continued.
“We are still investigating the police officers accused of killing bank robbers William Kapris and Raphael Walimini in 2013, and the killing of two Hanuabada villagers in 2015, and other high profile cases,” he said.
Isouve said probe into the Hanuabada killing was continuing as the firearm involved had gone missing from the armoury.
