Police arrest two wanted by Interpol in Rf18 million fraud case

A police spokesperson said Musthaumidh Mohamed, 31 of Jamsareeruge/Shaviyani atoll Lhaimagu and 35-year-old Mohamed Musthafa of Gold Star/Lhaimagu were arrested from the airport upon their arrival to the Maldives last evening. Interpol issued "red notice" for three suspects including Musthaumidh, Musthafa and Ibrahim Shahid, 41 from Baa atoll Thulhadhoo, who escaped after being released from custody under a court order. Rf18 million was transferred from the joint savings account at State Bank of India (SBI), which is owned by Ahmed 'Sheesha' Hassan Manik, Hussein Husham and Ibrahim Husham, to a Bank of Maldives (BML) account via a forged document faxed to the bank. The three brothers filed a case at Civil Court against SBI on Sunday seeking the Rf18 million and compensation for the investment they planned by using the funds.
