'No evidence against pres Yameen,' Maldives govt spurns Al Jazeera expose

Government on Wednesday moved quickly to spurn the Al Jazeera documentary by insisting that the Doha based broadcaster had failed to provide any evidence to substantiate the allegations against incumbent president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom.

Created by the Emmy and BAFTA winning Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit, the documentary titled ‘Stealing Paradise’ contains leaked documents, text messages and recorded confessions that has blown the lid off mass corruption and abuse of power in the archipelago.
