Ex-Minister ordered to pay over MVR 2 mln to Col. Nazim
Hilmy agreed to pay up the amount
Former Defense Minister Mohamed Nazim
Hussain Hilmy, former Youth Minister and Fisheries Minister at President Maumoon’s cabinet, has been ordered to pay over MVR 2 million to former Defense Minister Colonel (Rtd) Mohamed Nazim.
Nazim is presently serving an 11-year jail term on charges of possession of illegal firearms. Hilmy is a shareholder of Sunland Hotels.
Civil Court ordered Hilmy to pay MVR 2.3 million. In the Civil Court hearings, Hilmy had proposed to pay the amount, starting from February; an arrangement agreed upon by the two parties.
Civil Court decreed that in the event, Castaway Maldives, a company owned by Hussain Hilmy, made payments to Nazim, the amount would be deducted from the total amount owned to Nazim.
The documents regarding the case were exchanged on Sunday.
