PG revokes immunity agreements with Adeeb, others in MMPRC corruption case

The Prosecutor General's Office has decided to cancel the immunity agreements entered into with former Vice President Ahmed Adheeb, former Managing Director of Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) Abdulla Ziyath, and SOF leaders in the MMPRC corruption case.

Adeeb, and others involved in the embezzlement of funds from MMPRC during former President Abdulla Yameen's administration, were granted leniency under the Pardon and Sentence Reduction Act by former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. The investigation into the case was run collaboratively by investigative authorities under the Asset Recovery Commission formed at the time.
