A case alleging that Th. Madifushi Council\u2019s President has built a dockyard and a warehouse for his father-in law against the law has been concluded and forwarded for prosecution by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).<\/p>\n
Upon investigation, it was found that Th. Madifushi Council\u2019s President\u2019s father in law sent a letter to the Council requesting approval for establishing a dockyard, upon which the Council denied the request. Nonetheless, Th. Madifushi Council\u2019s President\u2019s father in law established a dockyard in the area allocated for building and repairing boats. Also, the investigation revealed that this dockyard was established without the Council\u2019s approval and although this act was performed in contradiction to the law, Th. Madifushi Council had not taken any action corresponding to it. <\/p>\n
Besides, Th. Madifushi Council\u2019s President has confessed that the dockyard was established by his father-in law and that he practically participated in the work of establishing the dockyard and building a boat within the space. <\/p>\n
Furthermore, the investigation reveals that Th. Madifushi Council acted in contradiction to the regulations related to building dockyards in the island. As the evidences obtained through the investigation proves that the Council\u2019s President practically participated in building the dockyard and restrained from taking the necessary actions to reclaim the dockyards built against the law, ACC has concluded the case under section 25 (a) (2) of law number 13\/2008 (Anti-Corruption Commission Act), as there was an offence of corruption in the case. Thus, the case has been forwarded to the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office to be prosecuted under Article 12 (a) of Law number: 2\/2000 (Prevention & Prohibition of Corruption Act) and Article 513 of law number 9\/2014 (Maldives Penal Code)<\/p>\n
In addition, Th. Madifushi Council\u2019s President\u2019s father-in law established a warehouse to store wood in the area allocated by the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure for oil Trading. However, ACC\u2019s investigation revealed that the Council\u2019s approval was not obtained prior to storing wood in the forenamed area. Despite knowing this, the Council had not taken any action against the act in order to unduly provide an advantage to a family member of the Council\u2019s President. Thus, the case has been forwarded to the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office to be prosecuted under Article 12 (a) of Law number: 2\/2000 (Prevention & Prohibition of Corruption Act) and Article 513 of law number 9\/2014 (Maldives Penal Code)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
