Independent MP questioned over corruption allegations against first couple
08 Feb 2016, 9:00 AM
Independent MP Ahmed Mahloof was summoned to the police headquarters last night for questioning over claims that there are millions of dollars in the first couple’s private bank accounts.
“Fathimath Ibrahim Didi’s [State Bank of India] account has only 13 million dollars, while President [Abdulla] Yameen’s SBI account has only 9 million dollars!” Mahloof had tweeted last week.
The MP for Galolhu South told reporters last night that the police asked for details of how he came by the information.
“I have in much detail explained to them that the information came from a policeman involved in the [Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation] corruption investigation. However, I have not revealed the policeman’s identity,” he said.
