Former VP Ahmed Adeeb Denies Settling in Singapore
Former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb Abdul Gafoor denied permanently settling in Singapore, stating he is there for medical treatment. Adeeb was released after ex-President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih commuted his 20-year prison sentence for involvement in the MMPRC corruption scandal. Adeeb's party, Maldives Third-Way Democrats (MTD), said he underwent surgery for a neurological condition from solitary confinement. The pardon drew criticism from Transparency Maldives and the Human Rights Commission of Maldives (HRCM), who accused Solih of abuse of power. Former President Abdulla Yameen, also convicted in the scandal, is serving an 11-year sentence.
