Ex-President Yameen Defies MCS Warnings Again
Former President Abdulla Yameen, under house arrest for an 11-year sentence for money laundering and bribery, defied MCS warnings by visiting the newly formed People's National Front (PNF) office to submit his membership. MCS is investigating if he breached house arrest terms. Yameen had previously breached after visiting PPM office. He left PPM due to disagreements and founded PNF. He was seen with lawyer Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed. MCS said would take action if necessary. Under the Prisons and Parole Act, convicts cannot hold leadership or participate in political events. The PPM-PNC coalition refused to comment on appeal delays. President Muizzu avoided questions, having pledged to transfer Yameen to house arrest.
