Former Tonga Prime Minister, Lord Tu'ivakano, who is facing charges of making a false statement for the purpose of obtaining a passport, perjury, acceptance of bribery and money laundering, is likely to face more charges.
Kaniva Pacific reported he was also expected to face additional counts relating to the unlawful possession of a firearm.
Tu'ivakano appeared at the Fasi Magistrate court this week and is to reappear on 26 April.
Crown prosecutor 'Aminasi Kefu asked for the delay so police could prepare additional information.
