Major corruption cases have been uncovered at Maldives Ports Limited (MPL), involving large sums of money.

One has come to know that payments for high-value goods imported by foreign companies were redirected to a local company, which then allegedly funneled money to some MPL officials. The local company is suspected of being used for money laundering.

Former MPL Managing Director Mohamed Wajeeh Ibrahim, who was recently dismissed, has also been linked to the case. One alleged instance of corruption involves MVR 24 million.

However, police have stated that they are not investigating any MPL-related corruption cases. Wajeeh denied any knowledge of such incidents, and MPL’s media team also said they had not received any official information on the matter.
