The Attorney General’s Office has requested the Maldives Police Service to investigate and take legal action against individuals suspected of fraudulently obtaining State funds through falsified documents.

The request follows a special audit conducted by the Auditor General’s Office into a case filed by Centre Enterprises Pvt Ltd, which sought to recover payments for medical equipment and consumables allegedly supplied to the Health Ministry in 2008. According to the audit, the company filed multiple cases since 2020 claiming over MVR 400 million for goods and services purportedly delivered to various government agencies between 2006 and 2010.

The audit revealed that several key documents submitted by the company were forged, including invalid bank guarantees and falsified delivery notes. It also found fake documents submitted under the name of ADK Enterprises, raising further doubts over the legitimacy of the claims.

Attorney General Uz Ahmed Usham confirmed that the case has been formally referred to police for investigation, adding that those responsible for submitting false documentation to the court should be held accountable under the law.
