The government has formally denied the allegations made by former Controller General of Immigration, Mohamed Shamaan Waheed, regarding the President and the Minister of Homeland Security and Technology. Although Shamaan claimed to have reported corruption allegations against the Minister to the President, the Spokesperson at the President’s Office has clarified that these assertions are entirely baseless and false.
These claims were made by Shamaan following a verdict by the Criminal Court today, which found him guilty on three separate charges, including money laundering and the abuse of official authority during his tenure at Immigration. Shamaan was originally dismissed from his post and subsequently arrested in connection with a case involving the procurement of illicit benefits from expatriates.
