Prosecution alleges Yameen orchestrated MMPRC embezzlement
Prosecutors allege former Maldives President Abdulla Yameen orchestrated the MMPRC embezzlement scandal to secure illicit funds. During a hearing on the Raa Fuggiri lease, the state claimed Yameen abused his power to accept $1.1 million in bribes and launder money, using his influence over former VP Ahmed Adeeb to execute the scheme.
