Under-fire Supreme Court Justice Abdulla Didi has submitted an official complaint against five members of the Judicial Service Commission after the watchdog suspended him last week.
The JSC is investigating Didi after it was alleged he took a US$ 1 million bribe in 2015 to sentence former president Mohamed Nasheed to 13 years in jail.
A source inside the judiciary told the Maldives Independent that Didi is also being investigated for allegedly receiving money from the $90 million embezzlement of resort acquisition fees by the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation corruption.
In a letter received by police on Sunday night, Didi made an official complaint against half of the 10-member commission, on which Nasheed sits, a police spokeswoman said.
