Maldives Police Service (MPS) says they will file charges on Ahmed Sofwan, personal assistant to former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, if he fails to summon himself to police in a seven-day period.

A statement released by the Police had ordered Sofwan to present himself to police within a seven-day period. If he fails to do so, then the police warned that they will forward the case to Prosecutor General with the evidence they have collected against him.
