Supreme court justice Abdulla Didi has left the country in the middle of a Judicial Service Commission disciplinary probe and ongoing police investigations into bribery and corruption.
According to local media, Didi left for Malaysia, where his wife resides, on Friday evening.
JSC spokesman Hassan Zaheen confirmed that the commission had been informed that Didi had left the country.
“We were asked for permission. Naturally, we have to give it because we are not a criminal investigative authority. We look into disciplinary matters, so we cannot stop it,” Zaheen told the Maldives Independent.
