MDP Seeks Probe Into Muizzu’s Alleged Money Laundering Through Media Firm

The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has called for an investigation into President Mohamed Muizzu over alleged money laundering through Maldives Media House, a company linked to him. The MDP alleges that Maldives Media House leased office space to the National Social Protection Agency (NSPA) at MVR 580,000 per month, with a six-month advance payment in cash totaling MVR 34.8 million over five years. The party claims the deal was used to cover operational costs for the media firm, constituting money laundering. Abdulla Zahir, who manages Muizzu's property and heads Maldives Media House, made the payment despite no prior business background. The lease was later cancelled after public criticism. The MDP has also approached the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and police.
