Former President Abdullah Yameen said last night that his rights were violated due to the prolonged delay in his trial after he appealed against the Criminal Court's 11-year prison sentence in the Vaavu atoll Aarah lease case.
The Maldives High Court on Thursday ordered a retrial for Yameen on the bribery conviction, for which he received a four-year prison sentence. Additionally, the High Court overturned the Criminal Court's verdict, which sentenced him to seven years in prison over money laundering charges. With both of these rulings, the High Court has now revoked the entire 11-year prison sentence related to charges of money laundering and bribery.
