Conviction on bribery charges
Ahmed Nazim was sentenced to 25 years by Supreme Court on corruption charges and stripped him of his seat in 2015. It was alleged that he was defrauding the state by submitting bids on behalf of non-existent companies to supply 15,000 national flags to the now-defunct atolls ministry. He was granted permission to leave the country for medical treatment in Singapore but fled and went to the United Kingdom and got political asylum. While he was in asylum, he filed a motion to review his sentence and was granted an injunction for the suspension of his sentence until the court completes the review. The Supreme Court later annulled the sentence against him.
