SUVA: The high-profile trial of Fiji's former prime minister Frank Bainimarama opened on Monday, with the ex-strongman linked to murky accusations of political interference at the country's largest university.

The one-time coup leader has been accused of using his political clout to shut down a sensitive police probe while leading the South Pacific country and has been charged with one count of perverting the course of justice.
