Solomons dashes hopes of Moti trial

The Australian News
Michael McKenna, December 14, 2006

AUSTRALIA'S hopes of extraditing fugitive lawyer and accused pedophile Julian Moti dimmed yesterday with immigration charges against him dropped in Solomon Islands.
The lawyer, wanted on child rape allegations, had faced charges over his secret escape in October to Solomon Islands from Papua New Guinea, where he had been arrested at the request of Australian Federal Police.
Mr Moti, a 41-year-old Australian citizen, had been charged with illegally entering the Solomons aboard a PNG military flight, straining relations between Canberra and Port Moresby.
But the charges of illegal entry were dropped against Mr Moti after Solomon Islands Immigration Minister Peter Shanel this week issued Mr Moti with an exemption order.
At the time of his arrest in PNG, Mr Moti was en route to the Solomon Islands, where he was to become attorney-general, appointed by long-time friend Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.
Charges against a nephew of Mr Sogavare have also been thrown out. Robson Djokovic was charged with aiding Mr Moti to enter the Solomons illegally.
Australia's sudden hunt for Mr Moti, on charges dating back to 1997, were labelled by Mr Sogavare as being "politically motivated".
The extradition request relates to an alleged repeated rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1997 by Mr Moti while he was working as a lawyer in Vanuatu.
It is now possible Mr Moti will take the role of attorney-general in a move that could thwart any attempt to extradite him to Australia on the child sex charges.
A spokesman for Justice Minister Chris Ellison last night confirmed an extradition request for Mr Moti had been sent to the Sogavare Government in the past few weeks.
"It is a matter for the Solomon Islands to consider that request in accordance with their laws," the spokesman said.
An earlier request from Australia to execute a provisional arrest warrant on Mr Moti, pending the formal extradition proceedings, has been ignored.
Mr Moti was charged with sexual offences in 1998, but they were dropped by a Vanuatu magistrate on the basis of insufficient evidence.
The AFP reopened the investigation in the past year amid allegations the magistrate was bribed.
At the time the AFP investigation was launched, Mr Moti, who owns a home in Sydney, was widely reported to have been advising Mr Sogavare on the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the April riots that had razed much of Honiara's business district.
The inquiry, announced in July and then headed by retired Australian Federal Court judge Marcus Einfeld, was viewed by Canberra as directly interfering with judicial proceedings already under way against two of Mr Sogavare's ministers, who are alleged to have incited the riots.
The stoush over the inquiry preceded the expulsion in September of Australian high commissioner Patrick Cole for alleged meddling in the country's internal affairs, a charge rejected by Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.
Mr Einfeld was subsequently removed as commissioner amid a police investigation into a possible perjury charge over a traffic offence.
The PNG Government, through its Defence Force, will hold a new investigation into Mr Moti's escape.
The terms of reference will also ascertain what involvement Australian Defence Force officers working in the PNG Defence Force might have had had in the exercise.
The PNG Government maintains Australia breached its laws in pursuing Mr Moti's arrest and extradition.
