Imprisoned former ruling party MP Ahmed Nazim has been admitted at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) to conduct tests.
According to local media, the former Progressive Party of Maldives MP for Dhiggaru was brought to Malé last night to treat back pains.
He was treated at the observation ward and admitted at the hospital after a doctor recommended further tests.
Nazim is serving a 25-year prison sentence at the low-security ‘Asseyri’ jail in Himmafushi. He was found guilty in April of defrauding the state of MVR1.4 million (US $91,400) by submitting bids on behalf of non-existent companies to supply 15,000 national flags to the now-defunct atolls ministry.
