Hearing in Yameen’s Appeal Scheduled for Thursday

The High Court has scheduled a hearing for Thursday in former President Abdulla Yameen's appeal against bribery and money laundering convictions over the lease of Aarah, Vaavu Atoll. Earlier this week Yameen petitioned the High Court to defer his 11-year prison sentence and US$5 million fine, while prosecutors and prior Supreme Court rulings indicate stay orders are not part of the Maldivian criminal justice system.
