The Maldives Supreme Court has accused Johann Kriegler, the retired South African Justice conducting an assessment on Maldivian judiciary, of threatening the apex court’s justices.
Kriegler, who was hired by the Attorney General’s Office, is meeting with stakeholders and institutions connected to the judiciary in an attempt to identify the challenges faced by the criminal justice system and how it is governed.
Kriegler’s assessment is the new administration’s first step towards judicial reform.
After Kriegler met with members of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, the justices accused the former South African justice of threatening them.
