AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Gangland probe: Samoa Police have arrested three people, including a child, at Faleolo International Airport over the Vietnam killing of suspected Sydney gang leader Lorenzo Lemalu Tovia, linked to the “Coconut Cartel”; no charges have been laid and police say the investigation continues. Wanted notice: Police also issued a public “wanted for questioning” alert for Conner Strickert, seen at the airport when the two suspects left Samoa, and warned the public not to approach him. Court update: In the Falealili 1 contempt case, a defendant recanted earlier claims about being hidden/misled by the FAST Party, after the court questioned the medical document timing and meaning of the allegations. Politics: A Parliamentary Privileges and Ethics Committee will investigate allegations described as defamatory and “treasonous” against Opposition HRPP leaders Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, Fonotoe Lauofo Pierre Meredith and Lealailepule Rimoni Aiafi. Budget & welfare: The 2026/2027 Budget outlines a new Child Wellbeing Benefit for children from birth to 35 months, plus higher pension payments for those aged 70+. Sport—Moana Pasifika: Moana Pasifika has entered liquidation, with liquidators appointed and bids emerging, while players prepare for the final match amid uncertainty.
