The video showed Iowane Benedito and another man handcuffed and being beaten by police officers in November 2012 after they were recaptured following their escape from prison.
The video received worldwide condemnation.
The director, Christopher Pryde, says four men are in custody and will appear in the Suva Magistrate's Court tomorrow after they were charged with unlawfully and indecently assaulting Mr Benedito.
The four are Sanita Laqenasici, Jona Davonu, Semesi Naduka and Filimone Catimaibulu.
He says police are continuing to look for a fifth suspect, Pita Matairavalua.
Mr Pryde has commended police for completing what he says was a difficult investigation.
