The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has stated that the Thinadhoo City Council is spreading false information about the commission and that they obtained documents from the council after completing all procedures. In a post on social media today, the Thinadhoo City Council claimed that a group claiming to be from the ACC had stolen a large number of items from the council office. The council also said that the matter had been reported to the police and that some council services had been disrupted due to the incident.
In a statement issued by the ACC regarding the matter, they said that a team from the commission was active at the Thinadhoo City Council yesterday in connection with cases being investigated by the ACC related to the Thinadhoo Council. Although they had worked to obtain documents needed for the investigation regarding a case submitted to the commission, the ACC noted that they did not receive full cooperation from the council in this matter.
“The ACC has obtained the documents needed for the investigation after completing all procedures within the legal framework of the Constitution, the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, and this commission’s law,” the ACC said. The ACC stated that the information released by the council regarding this matter is false, and that spreading false information about the ACC is unacceptable and they are extremely concerned about it.
