The Criminal Court today ruled that MP ‘Red Wave’ Ahmed Saleem not guilty in the corruption case filed by the state, accusing him of paying Neyza Enterprises Private Limited 50 percent of the money given to the former atolls ministry to buy sound systems for mosques in the islands.
“Redwave” Saleem, who was the former director of finance at the Atolls Ministry, faced charges of conspiracy to defraud the former Atolls Ministry in the purchase of the mosque sound systems.
The alleged corruption was uncovered in the audit report of the now defunct Atolls Ministry, released in 2009.
The court ruled that according to witnesses and statements, Saleem was not the person assigned to make announcements for bids.
