Former vice president Ahmed Adeeb was transferred to house arrest on Tuesday night after spending more than two weeks admitted at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Malé.
The Maldives Correctional Service said Adeeb was placed under house arrest with some conditions, declining to comment on the duration for house arrest.
Adeeb – who was convicted on multiple counts of corruption and terrorism and sentenced to 33 years – was previously transferred to house arrest in November after three years in prison.
The MCS authorised the transfer based on doctor’s recommendations after he underwent surgery to remove kidney stones.
