ACC Seeks Prosecution of Ex-IGMH Heads Over Alleged COVID-19 Profiteering

The Anti-Corruption Commission has asked the Prosecutor General's Office to prosecute three former senior IGMH officials over alleged illicit profits from laboratory reagents during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has also requested police and MIRA investigations. The ACC says the officials profited through RMLS Lab Services, linked to Dr Ali Abdulla Latheef, which was the first to offer PCR tests in the Maldives.
