Fugitive Abdul Bathin Mohamed Musthafa was arrested in Malaysia four days after MvCrisis published his photo and alleged crimes, and both Malaysian authorities and the Maldives Police Service have confirmed active investigations into him. The Maldives Police Service said it received information about the arrest and that Bathin is also the subject of a domestic violence investigation in the Maldives.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
In a statement issued today, the Maldives Police Service confirmed that it has received information regarding Bathin's arrest from Malaysian authorities, noting that the detention is linked to an issue currently under investigation in Malaysia.
