The Criminal Court has suspended two officers who spoke in court on behalf of the police during hearings concerning two opposition leaders.
Jumhoree Party (JP) leader Gasim Ibrahim and People’s Alliance (PA) leader Abdulla Yameen, both also high-profile businessmen, were detained last week on charges of treason and bribery.
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam identified the two officers as Inspector Mohamed Riyaz of Special Investigations and Superintendent Mohamed Jinah, Head of Drug Enforcement. Both officers have been suspended from appearing in court on behalf of police until December 2010.
When Minivan News contacted Jinah seeking to clarify the matter, he requested Minivan News contact Shiyam for information.
