Two prisons officers who entered plea agreements with the state for their alleged involvement in smuggling contraband into Maafushi Prison, have retracted their confessions.
The issue of contraband smuggling first came to light last June after a Police raid discovered that prison officers were involved in smuggling mobile phones and drugs into the premises of Maafushi Prison. It is also alleged that the officers involved received a total of MVR 70 million for their involvement.
