The immigration department claimed Tuesday that former MP Ahmed Nazim’s passport remains with the government despite reports of the former ruling party lawmaker fleeing from Singapore to the United Kingdom last week.
A spokesperson told the press that the former MP, who was handed a life sentence on corruption charges, had traveled to Singapore on a temporary travel document as requested by the Maldives Correctional Services.
“He does not have any other valid travel document,” Hassan Khaleel said.
It is not clear how Nazim could have left Singapore and traveled to the UK on a temporary travel document.
