Police have asked the Prosecutor General’s (PG) office to file bribery charges against former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s son and Dhiggaru MP Faris Maumoon.
Police are seeking charges against MP Faris over allegedly bribing lawmakers to garner support for the opposition led censure motion to unseat parliament speaker Abdulla Maseeh.
JP leader and Maamigili MP Gasim Ibrahim is also currently on trial over similar charges.
Faris is currently remanded until the end of his trial. The lawmaker is also facing criminal charges over misusing the flag and logo of ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).
