Civil Court Rejects ACC’s Injunction Request in Police Promotion Case

The Civil Court of Maldives dismissed the Anti-Corruption Commission's request for an injunction to stop promotions of senior police officers awarded during the final days of the previous administration. The ACC had directed the Maldives Police Service to cease the process, but the MPS proceeded. The court cited technical deficiencies and lack of legal basis. The promotions occurred despite then-President-elect Mohamed Muizzu's plea to suspend them. The ACC's legal submission was rejected without impeding its investigations.
