MP Ahmed Saleem of Baa Eydhafushi said during Wednesday's parliamentary session that judges and some policemen collaborate with criminals, preventing convictions for serious and drug-related crimes. Debating a bill to amend the law to allow bail, he said drug smugglers and major thieves no longer fear committing crimes.
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.
Drug smugglers and major thieves are no longer afraid to commit crimes because they are confident they will go free.
I would say that these things are being done in collaboration with the judges and some policemen.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
He added that the situation in the country has deteriorated significantly, with children as young as 13 now involved in crime.
