HDC Managing Director Caught Lying About Brother’s Building Permit in Land Scandal

Documents show that Mohamed Fazeel Rasheed, brother of HDC Managing Director Ibrahim Fazul Rasheed, was issued a building permit and registered to a MVR 7.5 million land lot despite his public denial and Ministry of Housing fraud flags. The case is linked to wider allegations that HDC allocated about MVR 450 million in land to around 50 ineligible people, prompting protests and MDP demands for Fazul's removal.
