Murder in Maalhos
Abdul Rahman’s body brought to Malé, no arrests so far

The body of Abdul Rahman, who was found brutally murdered in Maalhos island of Alif Alif atoll, has been brought to the capital Malé City for a post-mortem examination.

The Maldives Police Service (MPS) revealed that in connection with the murder that occurred on Saturday night in Maalhos, they have decided to conduct a post-mortem examination on the body of the deceased, Abdul Rahman Adam, 65 of Orchid Mage, AA. Maalhos.

The police institution further stated that the decision was made to determine the exact cause of death and to gather evidence necessary for the investigation.

In the incident, which occurred in the early hours of July 13, Abdul Rahman Adam, who was sleeping at home, sustained severe injuries. He passed away at dawn while receiving treatment at the island’s health center. According to available information, his head was smashed with an object.

As the investigation progresses, the deceased’s body has now been brought to Malé City for further analysis and to make arrangements for the post-mortem examination.

According to sources, Abdul Rahman’s family does not want a post-mortem examination to be conducted. The family stated that they do not wish for the post-mortem because they don’t want to inflict any further harm to the body.

So far, no arrests have been made in connection with the case.

However, the police continue to be active on the island regarding the case.

People are prohibited from leaving the island without police permission, and the police are monitoring those who enter and exit the island as well.

Corruption within Immigration
Charges filed against five, including Shamaan

The Maldives Police Service (MPS) has sent cases to the Prosecutor General’s (PG) Office to file charges against former Controller General of Immigration Mohamed Shamaan Waheed and four officers of the department, who were arrested on suspicion of taking bribes from an expatriate.

Five suspects, including Shamaan, have been arrested in connection with the case. The five arrested individuals are Mohamed Shamaan Waheed, 36, Mohamed Alsan Ismail, 21 and native to Buruni island of Thaa atoll, Ibrahim Ahmed, 37, Hassan Saheshan, 47 and Ahmed Lassaan, 40.

Speaking to RaajjeMV on Tuesday, media official at the Prosecutor General’s Office and legal counsel Ahmed Shafeeu revealed that the police had sent cases to the PG Office on Monday requesting to file charges against five individuals including Shamaan. He also said that the case has since been accepted.

Shafeeu said that a decision on whether to file charges against said individuals will be made within the next 15 days.

The suspects in the case are still in police custody. Among them, the Supreme Court has decided not to accept the appeal of Shamaan’s case for detention until the end of the trial.

Regarding the case of allegedly taking illegal benefits from a foreign worker, the police had previously stated that some immigration officers had abused their authority to raid an apartment where foreigners had been living.

According to the police institution, the first to arrive at the scene of the raid operation were three immigration employees who did not have the job responsibility to conduct such operations, and during said operation, seven foreign workers were stopped, and said three immigration employees searched the house.

The police institution also said that later that night, a specialized immigration team was brought in to re-process the scene, seal the belongings of the arrested expatriates, and take them to the Immigration Detention Center.

The police institution said that the investigation revealed that the seven foreign workers arrested in said operation were expatriates whose documents were in order.

The police institution also disclosed suspicions that a foreigner who was taken to immigration detention during the raid was released on Shamaan’s order after paying about half a million Maldivian Rufiyaa. They also suspect that the officers who conducted the operation met the expatriate on the street, took the money from him and went to Shamaan’s residence.

In connection with the case, the police have searched Shamaan’s residence. They took a large amount of money and electronic equipment into police custody from the house.

In connection with the case, the police institution also seized the phone of Shamaan’s spouse, Hidhfa Faiz, and banned two individuals from leaving the country.

Shamaan’s family has since claimed that he was framed, alleging that the accusations against him came after he informed President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu in December 2024 about corruption activities involving Minister of Homeland Security and Technology, Ali Ihusaan.

However, both President Muizzu and Minister Ihusaan have denied the allegations made by Shamaan’s family.

The prosecution alleges that the accused established a network in Fuvahmulah for drug distribution.

The Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) has filed formal charges against two individuals accused of operating a large-scale drug trafficking network in Fuvahmulah.

The accused, Hassan Azim of Zamaneege, Fuvahmulah, and Ahmed Niushad of Karankavilla, Fuvahmulah, were arrested in December 2024 during a police operation targeting drug-related crimes.

While the High Court ordered their release in January 2025, they now face charges in the Criminal Court.

The PGO has brought three key charges against Azim and Niushad:
Participation in a Criminal Organisation
Money Laundering

The prosecution alleges that the accused established a network in Fuvahmulah for drug distribution. The network’s operations were exposed on April 27, 2024, when a significant quantity of drugs was discovered in a house on the island.

According to the lawsuit:
Police investigations of bank statements revealed that small deposits from multiple individuals were accumulated and deposited into the accounts of Azim and Niushad.
The accused had created an organized system for packaging, marketing, and selling drugs at different levels.
Payments were made to various dealers who sold drugs in a structured manner.
A record was maintained for drugs issued on credit, and the network remained active until August 2024.

The second charge involves allegations that Azim and Niushad received and used large sums of money linked to drug transactions. These financial activities reportedly took place from July 1, 2019, to August 2024.

As of August 2024:
MVR 5.9 million had been deposited into Azim’s account by various drug dealers.
MVR 21.8 million had been deposited into Niushad’s account through similar transactions.

The PGO has requested the forfeiture of assets suspected to have been acquired through drug-related proceeds. The state seeks to recover MVR 1.1 million, along with several valuable assets, including:
4 motorcycles
5 cars
2 pickups
1 vessels
29 Sun Conure parrots
9 Ringneck parrots

The prosecution argues that these assets were obtained using illicit funds and should be confiscated by the state.
