The main opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) has refuted claims by President Mohamed Nasheed that the former government seized property and assets of former President Ibrahim Nasir.
At a press conference today, DRP Spokesperson Ibrahim “Mavota” Shareef said it was proven in court that Nasir misappropriated state funds.
“The court made a valuation of those funds and took his property legally as compensation,” he said, adding that Nasheed was misleading the public on the issue.
He added the head of state making such statements was not in the public interest.
