A hearing in former President Abdulla Yameen's trial has been scheduled for Monday, with arrangements to broadcast it live.
Yameen is accused of accepting USD 1 million as bribe in the lease of Vaavu atoll Aarah, and for laundering that money. In addition to Yameen, charges in this case have been raised against former Member of Parliament for Felidhoo constituency Yoosuf Naeem. The Criminal Court convicted both in December 2022, but the verdicts were revoked by the High Court this year, ordering a retrial.
