Indian National Remanded Over Money Laundering Allegations
Indian national Abdul Ragoob Nistar Haleem Rahman was remanded in custody for five days by the Criminal Court on Wednesday over money laundering allegations. He was arrested after a large sum of US dollars was found in his possession, and he could not explain how he obtained the money. Additional suspicion arose from his pattern of frequent short visits to the Maldives. His defense lawyers argued that the arrest procedures were flawed because he was presented to a judge after more than 24 hours, but police countered that he was produced within 24 hours. The court confirmed that less than 24 hours elapsed between his transfer to police custody and his court appearance. The police have not disclosed the exact amount seized, but documents indicated others had handed the money to him. No evidence has been presented yet.
