The Anti-Corruption Commission is seeking criminal prosecution of a government official to recover MVR108.7 million (US$7 million).
After closing 288 cases during the first quarter of 2018, the ACC said Tuesday that it has forwarded four cases to the Prosecutor General’s office to press charges against five male government employees.
The unnamed officials are facing charges on three counts of providing an undue advantage, one count of personal gain, and two counts of “acting in a manner which precludes an advantage to public or state.”
One of the five faces a charge of “recompensing government loss” over the MVR108.7 million owed to the state.
