Former MP Alhan Fahmy’s law firm is due to receive half of a US$22.5 million payout ordered by the Supreme Court last month.
The payout was won by Dheebaja Investment as compensation for the cancellation of a contract to provide ferry services in four northern atolls.
Alhan has confirmed to local media that a leaked agreement between Dheebaja and his firm Kings Attorneys and Consultants circulating on social media is authentic.
“I don’t think it is a problem to have a fee in an agreement for work done by a law firm,” he was quoted as saying in Mihaaru.
