The Criminal Court of Maldives today ordered the public to not express sentiments likening President of Football Association of Maldives (FAM) Bassam Adeel Jaleel, who is currently facing charges of fraud and mishandling of FAM funds, to a criminal before being officially convicted of the allegations.
The court's ruling was in response to a request by Bassam, and highlighted that every individual is innocent until proven guilty at a court of law.
