Former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb was transferred from a police remand facility to a high-security prison on Maafushi Island last night, the home ministry has confirmed.
Adeeb, who was first arrested on suspicion of links to the September 28 explosion on President Abdulla Yameen’s speedboat, is being held in custody until a verdict is reached on a separate charge of corruption.
The police are yet to file charges against Adeeb over the boat blast, which the government insists was caused by a bomb despite contradicting and apparently scant evidence.
Maafushi Island is an hour by speedboat from the capital while Dhoonidhoo where the police remand facility is located is just 15 minutes away.
