Former home minister and presidential hopeful Umar Naseer has had his passport confiscated, local media reported Monday.
The Civil Court order was issued over money owed by a company which he has links to.
Whale Submarine was ordered to pay MVR1.8 million (US$116,793) to the pensions office. But Naseer and other directors have failed to pay the amount, so their passports have been withheld.
Naseer told Raajje.mv that his passport had not been confiscated.
