The Bad – Name and Shame
 
BE ALERT THIS MAN IS A THIEF, LIAR, CHEAT, FRAUDSTER, AND VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR REPUTATION
 

Mohammad Salamat Ali of JRA Fiji is evil personified and dishonest to the core. He should be charged with fraud and forgery. He was involved in the plan to have Commander Frank Bainimarama arrested in New Zealand and charged with sedition in 2006. Failing that he said Muslim fanatics were to be sought to assist in a plot to kill the Commander.

It was Ali who took allegations of a “gay resort” and the link to New Zealand developers to the Fiji Times newspaper. He would try and lay the blame at Peter Foster’s feet, however there was never any evidence linking Mr. Foster to this allegation, and the Police chose not to interview Mr. Foster in relation to this matter, despite widespread media reports.

In fact the Fiji Times newspaper would subsequently publish an apology to the New Zealand developers. The newspaper would reveal that it was Mohammad Salamat Ali and him alone who approached them with forged documents and false information that led to their defamatory article.

Ali committed fraud after being paid $10,000 to pay the stamp duty and register a mortgage on behalf of Peter Foster and the Bank of the Federated States of Micronesia. Ali was personally responsible in the mortgage registration process, having taken the signed mortgage document to Companies House to be registered and for the stamp duty to be paid. He had then given the bank manager and the bank’s lawyer Jekope Masiyaka the alleged stamp duty receipt for payment and registration receipt in the foyer of the Tanoa Hotel, prior to going to the dinner at L’Opera with Government Ministers.

It is now clear that he kept the $10,000 himself. It is now apparent that his firm JRA FIJI was in dire financial straits. However Ali would lie and said he wasn;t involved.

However, VISHAL CHANDRA NATH, the Temporary Relieving Messenger for the Registrar of Titles Office states that at 11.30am on 19th July 2006 “one Indian man came to the counter” and presented the mortgage document.

He states, “I can easily recall the identify of the Indian man. He has a dark complexion and wore eye glasses.”

He also states, “I also wish to confirm that I will be able to easily identify this person as I can recall him campaigning for the SDL party in the last general election.”

That person is Mohammad Salamat Ali. He was the Advertising Agency and Public Relations Manager for the SDL party. His partner Jale Baba was the National Campaign Director of SDL.

Despite Inspector Puran being told that VISHAL CHANDRA NATH could identify the person who took the documents for registration and stamping, and walked away according to their evidence with requisition number 11633 and that person was ALI, he refused to follow up on this line of investigation. Clearly ALI did take the documents for stamping and registration.

Ali would also forge the Queensland Police criminal history of Mr Peter Foster. Subsequently, in December 2006 his own business partner Jale Baba, the National Director of the SDL party would sign an affidavit, which was covertly video taped by Fiji Military Intelligence, wherein he admits that Ali forged the criminal history without Peter Foster’s knowledge and that Ali had told him to lie in his Police statement.

When Peter Foster was subsequently interviewed by Inspector Puran of the Fiji Police he asked him to go and do forensic tests on the alleged forged work permit. Mr Foster assured him that his fingerprints would not be found on the document as he had never seen it, but that Ali’s fingerprints had to be on it. Despite clear evidence that Ali was responsible, again Inspector Puran refused to pursue this line of investigation. It is our submission thatInspector Puran is also a corrupt copper and should be investigated by the Police Professional Standards Unit.

When Jale Baba admitted that he had lied, at Ali’s instructions, to the Police, and that it was ALI who forged the criminal history, this was brought to the attention of the Commander and the Police Commissioner. Mr Foster was assured that they would request a nolle prosequi from the DPP. The DPP would refuse to act as they failed to recognise the coup and the new appointment of a Fiji Military Police Commissioner.

Leona and John Heeley are the worst example of Australians who flee their troubles in Australia and try and reinvent themselves in the south pacific. They were crooks in Australia and they are bigger crooks in Fiji,. They were linked to Navi Nasori as he was their local business partner. They have publicly spoken against Commander Frank Bainimarama and the military and have pledged funds to a group to rise against him.

They have misused their position of trust with clients and committed fraud and stolen household property entrusted to them for safe keeping.

These people are not to be trusted and no one should do business with their company, Denarau Real Estate.

They were also involved with Aussie Houses Pty Ltd in Queensland, Australia.
