The Prosecutor General of the Maldives has filed money laundering charges against former President Yameen Abdul Gayyoom.
Maldives Police Service investigated the former President and sent his case to the PG last week. Police claims that money embezzled by MMPRC was deposited to the President’s account and he profited from the money.
However President Yameen denied all the charges and his lawyers issued a statement saying that the charges are politically motivated.
Former President Yameen was questioned several times by Maldives Police Service in the past few weeks. Maldives Police Service also sent former legal affairs Minister Azima Shakoor’s case to the PG as well.
