The police questioned Abdulla Ziyath, the managing director of the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), for more than three hours today.
Ziyath was summoned to the police headquarters around 3:00pm and released around 6:30pm after taking a statement.
The police have so far declined to reveal the nature of the investigation, but a credible source told The Maldives Independent that he was questioned by officers from the economic crimes department.
The summons came after Ziyath’s apartment was raided on Wednesday night and the police searched the MMPRC offices on Friday night. His passport has also been withheld.
