The criminal court heard Saturday closing arguments in two separate trials on graft and terrorism charges against detained former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
The final hearings were closed to the press and the public for “national security reasons.”
The 34-year-old faces a life sentence if found guilty.
The graft charge relates to the theft of some US$5million from state coffers, and the terror charge relates to a claim that Adeeb carried a pistol on May Day last year.
