MMPRC's audit report indicates that a total of MVR 1 billion was deposited to the bank accounts of SOF - under dubious circumstances. The company is headed by a close ally of former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, Mohamed Allaam Latheef - who goes by his stage name "Moho" during his music band era - who currently resides at UK after exiling himself to evade from legal prosecution.
An Interpol Red Notice has been issued for the apprehension of Latheef, and extradited back to Maldives.
