Former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, on Monday, confessed to embezzling and laundering state funds received as the Land Acquisition Cost of leasing islands through Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) during former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom's administration.
His statement was made during the hearing held at Criminal Court to increase the ex-VP's remand period, following his recent foiled attempt to flee the country, which disobeyed a direct order from the Supreme Court.
