Former Police Inspector Waitangi Ituau Ale is suing the Ministry of Police and Prisons police for unlawful termination.

In 2019, Police sacked Ale after his suspension for misconduct, at the time Fuiavaili’ili Egon Keil was Police Commissioner.

Three years later Ale retained an attorney, Alex Su’a who confirmed the lawsuit against the Police.

Its unclear as to the monetary value that Ale is suing the Ministry of Police and Prisons as Su’a has declined to comment on the details of the lawsuit.

He only confirmed they have already taken the necessary steps in order to file their civil claim.

“I can only confirm we are suing the [Police] but I can’t further comment as process is underway.”

Repeated efforts to get comments from the Ministry of Police and Prisons were not answered immediately, including calls to the Acting Police Commissioner Leiataualesa Samuel Afamasaga.
