Report Circulating on Social Media Claiming President and Speaker received MMPRC Pay-Offs Fake: Police
The Maldives Police Service said a four-page investigation report circulating on social media, which alleged that former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb Abdul Ghafoor paid President Mohamed Muizzu and Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla with funds misappropriated from MMPRC, is false and invalid. The article recounts the leaked document's claims of payments to the two men and of a planned 2016 arrest of former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom, and notes a parliamentary joint committee's 2021 list of MMPRC recipients.
