Former Papua New Guinea leader arrested over corruption charges

Peter O’Neill was arrested by police at Jackson’s International Airport in Port Moresby on Saturday after flying back from Brisbane, Australia, where he had been stranded because of COVID-19 lockdowns. He was later released on bail and will spend two weeks in isolation at his home due to the same virus restrictions. O’Neill led Papua New Guinea for seven years before quitting in 2019 after several resignations from his government.
