The police have confiscated the phones of former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb’s lawyers and placed them under investigation for refusing to disclose the source of information about an alleged plot to assassinate the 35-year-old in custody.
The mobile phones of Mahfooz Saeed and Moosa Siraj were taken Saturday night in connection with an ongoing investigation, the police spokesman said, declining to provide further details.
Mahfooz told the Maldives Independent that they the pair was “accused of inciting fear, obstructing justice and spreading false information for refusing to provide the source of information into the alleged assassination plot.”
Last week, Mahfooz urged the police to “take measures to avoid the occurrence of any such tragic incident” in a letter to Police Commissioner Ahmed Areef.
