Charges Withdrawn Against Co-defendant in Pres. Yameen’s Bribery Case

The Criminal Court granted the prosecution's request to temporarily withdraw bribery and money laundering charges against Ahmed Kurik Riza, a former MTCC Deputy Managing Director and associate of former President Yameen, citing trial delays caused by his health condition. Former President Yameen's trial in the same case, concerning kickbacks of US$1.1 million linked to the Fuggiri Island lease, is still set to proceed.
