Former President Yameen have stated that the one million dollar deposited to his account by SOF might be money embezzled through MMPRC.
Speaking to the press after going to the police station for questioning, President Yameen said that the police questioned him regarding the one million dollars deposited to his account by SOF.
President Yameen said that he made an agreement with the Anti-Corruption Commission on 15th March 2018 and the money was deposited to an account owned by ACC in BML. “I do not even have to deposit that money. It is up to ACC to investigate and take that money back from me if it is found to be illicit. However, I deposited it to that account because I wanted to do that. According to the agreement, the money should be untouched by both parties until the case is fully investigated” said President Yameen.
He said that he is ready to answer to any allegations made against him. He further said that the police questioned him regarding some procedural issues surrounding the transaction. He also questioned why the police did not investigate the matter before.
