The Supreme Court of Maldives has ruled that a court order to freeze the bank accounts of former President Abdulla Yameen was issued incorrectly.
The Criminal Court issued an order to freeze the accounts of former President Abdulla Yameen last year. The Criminal Court ordered so after stating that Yameen’s accounts had money connected to the massive MMPRC scandal.
The order read that if the accounts were not frozen, the former President could gain benefits and the state would be inflicted with losses.
The High Court overruled the order once it was appealed. The state then appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court today, maintained the verdict of the High Court in the case.
