The Supreme Court has accepted an appeal into corruption charges against MP Ahmed Nazim.
The ruling Progressive Party of Maldives MP was charged with four counts of corruption in late 2009 for allegedly conspiring to defraud the former Ministry of Atolls Development.
According to the prosecutor general, an appeal was filed after new Prosecutor General Muhuthaz Muhsin took office in July.
The Maldives Police Services in October withheld the MP’s passport on charges of blackmail, while Nazim was linked with alleged attempts to link tourism minister Ahmed Adeeb with the disappearance of Minivan News journalist Ahmed Rilwan last August.
