President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Monday signalled his support for the Judicial Service Commission’s decision to suspend Supreme Court Justice Adbulla Didi and reassured the public of his commitment to judicial reform.
The JSC is investigating Didi after it was alleged he took a US$1 million bribe in 2015 to sentence former president Mohamed Nasheed to 13 years in jail.
He is also being investigated for allegedly receiving money from the $90 million embezzlement of resort acquisition fees by the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation.
The Supreme Court lifted Didi’s suspension within 24 hours. However the commission voted to disregard the court’s order.
