The Criminal Court of the Maldives has sentenced a Defence Ministry staff member Ibrahim Ahmed to three years and six months banishment, after he admitted to stealing money from a safe at the ministry.
Criminal Court said that Ibrahim was in a position in the Ministry where his duty was to look after the Ministry’s safe.
He was sentenced for stealing Rf 5821.09 ($US450) from the Defence Ministry’s safe, the Criminal Court said.
”Because he admitted that he committed the crime the Criminal Court found him guilty of the crime, and the court sentenced him to three years and six month banishment,” the court said.
Ibrahim was sentenced under article 131 [a], 143 and 146 of the penal code.
The Prosecutor General filed the lawsuit against him.
