Case of alcohol found in Muleeaage submitted to PG

Police have completed their investigation, and submitted the case of alcohol found in former President Mohamed Nasheed’s residence on 7 February 2012 to Prosecutor General’s (PG) Office today.

Police said that the investigation took longer than expected because steps had to be taken to ensure the quality of this investigation, and also due to the large number of cases currently under investigation.

Some of the bottles of alcohol found at Muleeaage were packed in cases with Maldivian emblem on them, while some others were addressed to Nasheed as gifts from foreign counterparts.

Police said that the bottles were smuggled into Muleeaage in A4-sized envelopes, which had MNDF Special Protection Group Security Checked stamps on them.

Following these findings, Former President Nasheed retorted that he does not drink alcohol, and that there can be no such thing at Muleeaage.
