Fineasi Funaki (1966 – 13 November 2010)[1] was a Tongan politician and cabinet Minister.
In January 2008 he was accused of corruption after depositing a cheque from the Chinese Embassy to the Ministry into his personal bank account.
[4] A subsequent report from the Auditor-General found that he had broken the law by depositing a cheque from the Chinese Embassy into his personal bank account and recommended that he be asked to resign.
[5] Prime Minister Feleti Sevele refused the recommendation of asking for Funaki's resignation, blaming the misappropriation of funds on inexperience,[6] but Funaki forfeited his salary for three months and was forced to apologise.
[7] Funaki resigned from Cabinet in September 2010 due to ill-health.
