Minister of Home Affairs Imran Abdulla, on Monday, disclosed in a parliament session that the delay in extraditing Abdulla Luthfee was due to the lack of a document by the Sri Lankan Defence Ministry.
Abdulla Luthfee, who orchestrated the coup of November 3, 1988, which resulted in the death of 19 Maldivians, handed himself over to the Maldivian embassy in Sri Lanka on May 1.
