Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was questioned Thursday by the police over a missing hard drive thought to contain the ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives’ membership registry.
In a Twitter post, the former president said police officers “visited me in my office today and asked me if I knew anything about the missing PPM hard disk… I told them I know nothing”.
The hard drive was reported missing in November after supporters of President Abdulla Yameen, Gayoom’s half-brother, ransacked the ruling party’s headquarters and removed all of its computers, documents and furniture amid an acrimonious struggle for control between the two brothers.
Anti-Gayoom graffiti was found scrawled on the walls and used motor oil was later thrown on the office’s gates.
