Police Probe Alleged Coup Attempt Following BML’s Suspension of Foreign Transactions
The Maldives Police Service (MPS) launched an investigation into allegations that the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) attempted a coup following BML's suspension of foreign transaction allowances. The police stated that BML's decision, made by its board on Saturday and announced Sunday, coincided with an MDP press conference and social media activity from 'bot accounts' urging protests. President Muizzu, Homeland Security Minister Ali Ihusaan, and Police Commissioner Ali Shujau were involved in high-level meetings. BML reversed the decision hours after the announcement following pressure from the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA). Political observers noted the government had time to intervene.
