Police have begun a search of the Adhadhu office following the release of a documentary titled 'Aisha'. Officers entered the office under a court order after the President denied the allegations made in the documentary and vowed to request relevant authorities to take action against those involved.
In the documentary, released on Adhadhu’s social media platforms on March 28, a former employee of the President’s Office leveled serious allegations regarding a personal relationship with President Mohamed Muizzu. The individual alleged that sexual encounters took place within the President’s Office and claimed to have received monthly payments from the President. Furthermore, the documentary included allegations that the President had proposed to marry her as a second wife.
During a press conference held this morning, Muizzu categorically denied all claims made in the documentary. He stated that he would request the relevant authorities to take the strictest possible legal action against all parties involved in the production.
Journalists at Adhadhu reported that the court order obtained by the police does not explicitly state what specific items are being sought from the office. However, it is believed that the police operation aims to recover evidence related to the documentary. The Maldives Police Service has not yet issued an official statement regarding the matter.
The release of the documentary has sparked intense debate on social media. Government supporters maintain that the production is a politically motivated attempt to defame the President. Conversely, opposition figures and members of the public are calling for an independent investigation into the allegations.
