The Gayoom siblings have denied the charges filed against them by Rasheed Carpentr and Construction (RCC) Pvt Ltd.
RCC filed suit in Civil Court to recover MVR 2 million from siblings Dhunya, Yumna, Ghassaan and Faris Maumoon, for the construction of a property on Chaandhanee magu. On Sunday, Civil Court heard opening statements from the two sides.
Dhunya Maumoon, who had previously served as Foreign Minister, is now State Minister at Health Ministry. Yumna Maumoon previously served as Deputy Minister at Education Ministry, while Ghassaan Maumoon currently serves as State Minister at President’s Office. Faris Maumoon is the Member of Parliament for Dhiggaru Constituency. RCC is the company of father of former Defense Minister Mohamed Nazim and former MD of STO Adam Azim.
A statement released by the siblings today said that the construction of the property was sub-par and as such they deny the charges. The statement also said no other information will be made public as the case was still ongoing.
Raajje.mv understands that the charges were filed on the siblings as they had failed to pay MVR 2 million for the construction of a property on Chaandhanee magu.
The property is jointly owned by the former President Gayoom's siblings.
