Supreme Court Justice Abdulla Didi has denied receiving a US1 million bribe and angrily lashed out at the “false, irresponsible and dirty” reports appearing in the local media.
On Sunday, parliamentary speaker and former president Mohamed Nasheed submitted a disciplinary complaint against the judge at the Judicial Service Commission, a ten-member oversight committee for the judiciary.
Nasheed filed the complaint through a letter to the judicial watchdog, parliament Secretary General Fathimath Niusha told the media on Sunday.
Local media reported that the judge is accused to taking a US$1 million bribe to sentence Nasheed to 13 years in jail in 2015.
