Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s office in Malé was raided Sunday over official documents alleged to have gone missing from the Progressive Party of the Maldives’ former headquarters.
President Abdulla Yameen’s faction of the divided ruling party had cleared out the PPM’s office at Henveiru Thema after the civil court stripped Gayoom of his powers as the party’s elected leader and put Yameen in charge.
Gayoom set up the office of the PPM president at Thema.
The police raided the office on Sunday night after the Yameen faction filed a complaint alleging that hard drives from five computers, the party’s membership database, and additional documents were missing.
