Verdict hearing in Shamman's case scheduled for 9 Jun
The Criminal Court has scheduled the sentencing hearing in the extortion, abuse of office and money laundering case against former Immigration Controller Mohamed Shamman Waheed for 4:00 pm on 9 Jun, after the verdict was postponed from 21 May because his lawyer was reported to be overseas. The State accuses him of extorting MVR 500,000 from a detained foreigner and is seeking seizure of MVR 250,000 and MVR 150,000 of the suspected laundered money.
