The Prosecutor General's Office has revoked immunity agreements granted to key figures involved in the MMPRC corruption case, including former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, former MMPRC Managing Director Abdulla Ziyath, and SOF leaders.
The agreements, initially signed under former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration to aid the investigation and recover embezzled funds, were canceled due to the lack of cooperation from the accused. The PG Office has directed the Police and Anti-Corruption Commission to resume halted investigations and pursue prosecutions.
The MMPRC funds, primarily embezzled through SOF, were linked to a close relationship between Adeeb and SOF operators. Despite sufficient evidence for more severe charges, Adeeb received a reduced sentence of 20 years through a plea bargain, later commuted to four years by President Solih. Critics have questioned the leniency and inadequate fines imposed, highlighting missed opportunities for significant financial recovery under the Money Laundering Act.
