The Prosecutor General’s Office has granted immunity and witness protection to a soldier who testified to making two bombs for former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, local media report.
Adeeb was convicted of terrorism last week and sentenced to 15 years in jail over the September 28 explosion on the president’s speedboat.
He was found guilty of plotting to assassinate President Abdulla Yameen based on the secret testimony of the military’s explosives expert.
Local media outlets CNM, Avas, and Mihaaru have identified the anonymised witness as Mohamed Jawaz, and reported that he has been placed under witness protection.
