The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has refused to disclose the progress of the investigation into the alleged corruption cases against President Mohamed Muizzu.
More than 20 cases have been filed with the ACC linking Muizzu with corruption when he was the Housing Minister and Mayor of Male'. The anti-corruption watchdog earlier confirmed that it was investigating these complaints.
But when questioned about the progress of the investigation, the ACC said it could not disclose details of specific cases.
In response to a letter from a private individual, the ACC said on February 13, 2022, that many cases were from when Muizzu was the Housing Minister. They include complaints over the Hiya flat recipients list.
Other cases include awarding the Hiya project to the highest bidder, fraud in creating the flat recipients' list and awarding projects to companies for personal gain.
Additionally, Adhadhu exposed in 2023 that several foreign companies had deposited large amounts of money into Muizzu's personal account while he was the minister.
Muizzu said a foreign company deposited the money into his account as rent for his row house.
