The offices of Fiji's Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission have been searched by officers from the country's anti-corruption commission.

The search was conducted on Friday by officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption as part of an ongoing investigation.

In a statement, FICAC said it would not provide any further details.

However, Fiji Village is reporting that it understands the search relates to a complaint that was lodged with FICAC against the commission's director, Ashwin Raj.
