The charges against former President Yameen Abdul Gayyoom have been submitted to the Prosecutor General's Office for review. This move comes after President Yameen filed a motion challenging the charges against him.
Reports indicate that the prosecutor's office has granted former prosecutor Hussain Shameem a period of 20 days to submit complaints regarding the decisions made in Yameen's cases. Notably, the office has received a total of 539 complaints since opening the opportunity for submissions.
Yameen faces charges in three significant cases. In the Ga. Vodamula lease transaction case, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison; however, the Supreme Court later ruled that the evidence was insufficient, resulting in his acquittal.
Subsequently, in the V. Aarah lease case, the former president was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison in December. He appealed the ruling to the High Court, which in April this year overturned the lower court’s judgment and ordered a retrial.
Additionally, Yameen has been charged in connection with the MMPRC case, involving allegations of accepting $1 million in bribes and laundering the funds.
Currently, the charges against President Yameen are pending in court regarding both the V. Aarah lease case and the Fuhgiri case. The developments in these cases are closely monitored as they unfold in the judicial system.
