The State has appealed Criminal Court's dismissal of charges against former Vice President Abdulla Jihad at the High Court.
Jihad, who now serves as the Chairperson of Maldives International Finance Service Authority (MIFSA), was charged in 2013 over the signing of the Fushidhiggarufalhu agreement back when he was serving as Finance Minister.
The charge against him was acting otherwise in a matter which would have benefited the state.
The Criminal Court ruled last month that the case cannot be proceeded citing wrongful actions or errors made in the investigation process.
High Court confirmed that the Prosecutor General has submitted an appeal on this case yesterday.
Prosecutors previously also sued Jihad for MVR 1.1 million claiming that he failed to vacate the apartment allocated for him as his official residence during his time as Vice President. However, the case was later withdrawn.
