AJ’s Investigative Unit has uncovered corruption in the Maldives. Secretly filmed interviews describe how men on mopeds carried millions in cash to the Maldives’ political elite. President Abdulla Yameen and his former deputy, Ahmed Adeeb, are accused of receiving cash in bags filled with up to $1m, so much that it was “difficult to carry,” according to one of the men who delivered it.

In a statement following its release, the Government of the Maldives said: “There is no evidence in this report connecting President Yameen or current members of his Government to any wrongdoing.” It noted that these claims already form part of a wider investigation initiated by President Yameen in February 2016: “We have asked Al Jazeera to provide any evidence they have which is relevant to this investigation.”

    This is undoubtedly one of the best Investigative journalism I have ever seen. Well done 'Al Jazeera'. I sincerely hope and pray that it creates ripples among the International community to stand up and take notice of what is happening to this extraordinarily beautiful islands. Yameen is a stone cold seasoned Mafia boss and it is so evident on how he framed his own nephew sensing that he might grow too big even for him to control. Maldivian people deserves much better than this low life goons and I am sure that one day they will get it.

    The US media could learn a thing or two about this dying art of journalism. Authentic old school journalism does not follow the noise for ratings...it goes where the silence is.

    I was just in the Maldives for the past 2 weeks. No wonder the infrastructure, airport, WiFi, capital city and even the new Humale was all terrible. The money seems to have been disappeared. 🇲🇻
