A case was filed at the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday alleging misappropriation of funds from the Islamic ministry by three high-profile members of the Adhaalath Party, including Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed, state minister of Islamic affairs.
In his letter to the ACC, Mohamed Raaidh from G. New Moon in Male’, alleged that Shaheem, Sheikh Ilyas Hussein and Sheikh Ibrahim Rushdie each received Rf15,300 from an Islamic ministry account.
The letter alleges the money came from account number 410 of the Islamic ministry’s account at the Maldives Monetary Authority, which is used to deposit both domestic and international aid to promote Islam.
ACC Vice President Muaviz Rasheed confirmed to Minivan News that a letter had been sent today but said he was unable to provide details at this early stage of the investigation.
