Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom criticised the PPM-PNC coalition leadership for what he called insufficient, half-hearted efforts to secure his release, speaking at a campaign rally for a People's National Front candidate. He is appealing a December 2022 money laundering and bribery conviction and has since left PPM-PNC to form the PNF.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The backdrop to these remarks is Yameen's ongoing legal battle against a conviction handed down in December 2022, related to bribery and money laundering charges connected to the lease of Aarah in Vaavu Atoll for tourism development.

The comments were made during a campaign rally for a parliamentary candidate of the yet-to-be officially registered People's National Front (PNF), a political movement spearheaded by Yameen following his departure from PPM-PNC.
