Police have launched an investigation into the transfer of funds from the Road Development Corporation (RDC)'s account to the personal account of one of the company's officials.
While the police have not disclosed specific details about the case, they have confirmed that an investigation is underway regarding the RDC. The investigation is being carried out jointly by the police and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the central bank, Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA).
Meanwhile, the Managing Director of RDC, Moosa Ali Manik (Mookey), maintains that the reports of corruption are false. Referring to former President Abdulla Yameen, who is currently incarcerated on a money laundering conviction, Mookey said he was not Yameen to deposit stolen funds into his personal account. He said details of account-to-account transactions would be available.
