The President's Office has revealed that the works conducted by the Asset Recovery Commission will be publicised.

Under the Right to Information Act, an individual had submitted a request for details of the amount that was recovered by the commission. A reply to the individual by the President's Office noted that the works of the commission will be published, though they did not indicate a date.

The reply was shared on social media platform, Twitter, via the personal account of Aiman Latheef, who had requested for the information.

The Asset Recovery Commission was formed by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on November 17th, 2018.

The Commission is tasked with recuperating state assets lost from 1st January 2012 till 17th November 2018, and to ensure that all responsible authorities carry out their legal duties in investigating corruption and abuse of power within state and government institutions.

However, the commission was dissolved on March 17th, with the Anti-Corruption Commission set to take over their works.

One of the most notable investigations by the commission was that of the grand corruption case involving the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC). 37 islands and 12 lagoons were fraudulently leased for tourism purposes, resulting in a massive financial loss to the State. The commission was pursuing 30 separate cases in relation to the MMPRC corruption scandal.
