PG remains undecided on appealing Ex-President Yameen's case

The Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) on Tuesday has stated that they remain undecided on whether or not to appeal the High Court's decision to revoke prison sentences handed down against former president Abdulla Yameen.

Ex-President Yameen was arrested and sentenced to prison for four years on charges of accepting bribes and seven years on charges of money laundering, both in relation to the leasing of V. Aarah for tourism development through the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC). The Criminal Court handed down these prison sentences against the former president in 2022.
