Ex-President Yameen Challenges President Muizzu to Investigate MMPRC Scandal

Former President Abdulla Yameen challenged President Mohamed Muizzu to investigate the MMPRC corruption scandal, accusing Muizzu's administration officials of involvement. Speaking at a People's National Front (PNF) rally, Yameen said Muizzu knew the caliber of senior officials, including Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla, Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer, and Muizzu himself. Yameen called for an independent inquiry, claiming the police and Anti-Corruption Commission cannot investigate due to the ruling supermajority. The MMPRC scandal, uncovered during Yameen's presidency, has seen only Yameen, former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb Abdul Ghafoor, and MMPRC Managing Director Abdulla Ziyath sentenced. Ghafoor and Ziyath were later pardoned by former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, and Yameen's sentence was quashed on procedural grounds.
