Former Vice President Adeeb Leaves Country After Presidential Pardon
Former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb left the Maldives shortly after former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih commuted his 20-year MMPRC-related prison sentence, along with that of former MMPRC managing director Abdulla Ziyath, days before the end of Solih's term. Transparency Maldives condemned the pardons as detrimental to the rule of law, while the Prosecutor General's Office assured impartiality of the ongoing MMPRC investigations.
