Former Vaguthu owner ‘coerced’ into transferring ownership

Musharraf Hassan filed a complaint with the police last night.

Hassan told The Maldives Independent today that Hassan Abdulla, chief operating officer of Vaguthu, and Ismail Shafraz, marketing manager, took him to a house in the Henveiru ward of Malé on September 7, falsely claiming that it was for a meeting with Adeeb.

“A man in his early twenties was seated on the couch. He told me that he was speaking on behalf of Adeeb and MMPRC [Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation] Managing Director Abdulla Ziyath and immediately demanded that I hand over shares of Vaguthu,” he said.
