Former president Abdulla Yameen was temporarily transferred to house arrest Wednesday night on the advice of doctors.
Yameen and his wife agreed to abide by conditions for house arrest, the Maldives Correctional Service said in a statement, without specifying the conditions.
He was taken to his residence in Malé from the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital.
The former president was hospitalised three times since the criminal court detained him on February 18 for the duration of a money laundering trial.
