Two foreign nationals arrested for illegally selling dollars on the black market have been deported, according to the Maldives Immigration authorities. The arrests were made earlier this month in a joint operation by Immigration and the Maldives Police Service.
On September 5th, five foreign nationals were apprehended for their involvement in black market dollar transactions. Authorities found large sums of money, including hundreds of thousands of Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), along with a significant number of credit cards in their possession.
A media official from Maldives Immigration confirmed to 'Ras Online' that two of the five individuals have already been deported, with the remaining three also scheduled for deportation.
Despite these arrests, authorities have noted that illegal currency trading by foreign nationals continues to persist in the Maldives, as black market transactions remain a concern for law enforcement.
