Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has submitted all his appeal points during the ongoing appeal trial to overturn the Criminal Court verdict over money laundering.
During the hearing, his lawyers questioned the witness process and questioned whether the witnesses qualify to give statements. The witnesses against the incarcerated former president included the former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, former Managing Director of Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) Abdulla Ziyath and former President of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Four appeal hearings have been held in court and in the last hearing the legal team of former President Yameen detailed all appeal points to the judges. 75 appeal points have been explained to the judges' bench from the defence lawyers.
