The resignation of Hassan Luthfee from the Maldives corruption watchdog has been called into question because he did not sign his resignation letter, it was reported in the media on Tuesday.
Luthfee, the former president of the Anti-Corruption Commission, resigned in late June as parliament moved to initiate impeachment proceedings against him. He was also facing a police investigation into charges of money laundering.
At the time, the president’s office confirmed that Luthfee had submitted his resignation in writing.
However, local media reported on Tuesday that the president’s office had since informed parliament that they could not verify the validity of the resignation as it had not been signed by Luthfee.
